Podcast on NRA suits against PA cities
Right here. It features Jonathan Goldstein, attorney for the good guys, and Shira Goodman, director of a Bloomberg subsidiary, excuse me, of CeasefirrePa.

God bless Jonathon Goldstein for going into the lion's den on public radio.
I especially respect the fact that he stayed on topic and didn't let them draw him into the weeds. Lord knows it would have been easy to launch into a disquisition on the perfidy of the gun-banners, but he displayed admirable restraint.
Haters gonna hate...but he may well have convinced the open minded, but undecided, to support the side of the angels here.
And I sincerely hope that the attorney from Cease-Fire-PA is right that this becomes a template for the entire U.S.
:)
Just a note: If it hadn't been for the supreme court screwing things up in Barron v Baltimore we wouldn't be having these suits. The legal texts at the time, for example Rawle's A View of the Constitution, stated that the Bill of Rights bound the states. But Marshall, ever the power hungry federalist, and crew decided this was not the case. IF those justices actually understood the Constitution, and do not for one moment believe they did, we would not be facing the onslaught of the ever-expanding federal government. And our dim-witted friends in black robes today are even less knowledgeable about the supreme law of the land and their place BENEATH it.
