Why is it too late? They are trying to get to the facts. This town was an industrial town like so many others and it is likely that the soli was already contaminated. What they will be able to do after the fingerprint of the chemicals being carried is to determine what came from the derailment and what was preexisting. It is likely going to dredge up contaminants from prior industrial use.

This only applies to carry laws - Philly requires a permit for both open and concealed, while the rest of the state only requires a permit to conceal. Philly PD is known to harass people who openly carry.

Otherwise, the state's preemption law still covers just about everything. They actually got sued recently after the mayor banned guns at public pools, and the court struck it down under the preemption law.

Philly would have an AWB and mag cap limits in a heartbeat if they could.

Like I said, there are absolutely bad actors. Those orders came from the political appointees, too. I'm just saying, the way things are set up now isn't a conspiracy. It has problems, but it was set up mostly in good faith by people doing the best they could with what they had and knew.
