Mayor Nutter this morning said the National Rifle Association owed an apology to the family of slain police officer Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski.
Nutter recently signed five local gun bills into law, including one that would outlaw the possession and sale of certain assault weapons. The NRA immediately sued the city on the grounds that the city does not have the authority to enact local gun control. They obtained a temporary restraining order to keep the city from enforcing the new laws.
Liczbinski was killed with a Chinese-made assault weapon.
"I think it's insane," Nutter said. "The fact that we put forward a piece of legislation to prevent the sale and use and transfer of assault weapons and have a Philadelphia police officer assaulted on the streets with one, I think makes it pretty clear to anyone who is confused about this issue that there's no reason for any citizen, any person other than in law enforcement or in the military to have such a weapon."
He added: "There's no legitimate argument by the NRA, they need to get in the real world where the rest of us live and come to grips with these kinds of issues. They owe an apology to the family for their staunch opposition over many, many years blocking legislative support for these kinds of matters."
We called the NRA for response and will update when we hear back.
Nutter also said that Eric Floyd -- one of three suspects in the case who remained at large last night -- should turn himself in.
"He needs to turn himself in as quickly as he can. He knows that we're looking for him.He knows that we know who he is, what he looks like," Nutter said.

According to the NRA, Howard Cain, the alleged killer, was arrested 27 times for illegal possession of a gun, but he had only 3 convictions. All three suspects were on parole when the bank was robbed.
Nutter is totally NUTS!!
This from a city and state that has kept the scumbag copkiller MUMIA alive for 27 years!! The Nutter wants to pretend to care about protecting the police and the public from the worst dregs of society. FRY MUMIA!
Mayor, if I lived in your city, I wouldn’t take a shower without a carry piece.
The last thing I want in life is to live in the "real world" where you live, Mayor Nutter.
You see, the problem is the PEOPLE WHERE YOU LIVE. Everyone in Georgia has a gun and we don't have these problems.
I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD. Nutter lives in Killadelphia. Maybe the city should apologize to the family of the slain officer for their murderous residents.
Democrat mayors and governors cannot stand for forceful criminal control and imprisonment for lawbreakers. If they did, many of their electorate would be unable to vote for them because they would be in jail (and their families wouldn’t vote because they would be angry that a relative was in prison). No criminals, no votes, no democrat elected officials - it’s as simple as that.
I think makes it pretty clear to anyone who is confused about this issue that there’s no reason for any citizen, any person other than in law enforcement or in the military to have such a weapon.”
I don’t think so.
The guy’s REAL name is “Nutter?”
You really CAN’T make this stuff up, can you?
There are numerous lewd comments regarding your post that could be made but I’ll let it slide. ;^)
If you like guns, speak up.
If he had been killed with a croquet mallet, would Nutcase claim they should be restricted to the LEOs and the military?
what a pussy. He promised to search black men on the street to find all these illegal guns. Now his policy is to ban everybody else from owning them.
The mayor is an idiot. As long as the police and military have such weapons, the people need to have them as well. The second amendment ensures that the power is in the hands of the people against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.
Yo Mayor Flutter Nutter WHAT makes you think a criminal will follow YOUR unconstitutional bastardized version of law ?
THATS WHY THEY CALL EM CRIMINALS !!!
No one shy of a state legislature should be allowed too pass any LAW ! City ordinances on where yer dog pisses ....fine . City laws where dogs piss on you ......insanity !!
If Nutter wanted to stop gun violence, he’d get tough on crime. Maybe he’s afraid some of his relatives would go to jail.
In the United Kingdom, the word “nutter” is a slang word that means a crazy person, or someone who is insane.
How fitting.
This screwhead mayor was blaming the NRA before the slain cops body was even cold and before the shooter was apprehended. Didn’t even mention the failure of the criminal justice system that let the cretin walk.
Nutter is a disgrace.

Springer 1911 .45, Ruger .357, 12 gauge 18 1/2 inch barrel for special tasks, .270 Savage for hunting, numerous .22’s for practice. I guess you could say I like guns but I really don’t have enough. I’ve been giving thought to what I want in a carry piece lately.
