Philly seeks more gun control, sues state over preemption

Morning Call? Sounds like a daily habit, something you do right after you get out of bed...

I agree, before these drug laws got passed you didn't have all the drug related violence and gangs. The war on drugs has accomplished absolutely nothing, but it has resulted in serious violations of civil liberties in an attempt to enforce the law. Have we as a nation learned anything from Prohibition? You cannot legislate morality!!! As a libertarian I strongly oppose the government trying to protect people from themselves. Personally I think taking drugs is stupid, butit is not thegovernment's function to play the father figure in our lives.

Today I got a call from the newspaper, and apparently they're going to run my letter within the next few days. TBH I forget entirely what I said, as I wrote it in the heat of the moment after reading the article, but I'll post it when it's published.

Read in the Philly Metro a few days back that somebody's planning to sue the state for exemption from preemption. But I thought they'd already passed laws, and that the test was going to be when someone violates them.


So, bumping this to the top - anybody know the status of the laws philly passed?
