Taking the advice of Mayor Ed Pawlowski, Allentown City Council unanimously voted to repeal some of its firearms ordinances to comply with a new Pennsylvania law Wednesday night.
The city faced a lawsuit by the Lehigh Valley Tea Party if it did not repeal those gun laws, because that new state law allows organizations to sue municipalities.
The city repealed its gun laws so it would not be sued.

This needs to spread nationwide.
Hit them in the pocketbooks when they trample on the 2A.

Americans need to start using the tricks that the aclu and other anti-American mobs are using against us. Scare the hell out of the bass turds attacking our right by threatening them with lawsuits. It works for the commies. It will work for us.

IOW, it didn't bother them that the ordinance was unconstitutional.

Hard to believe what Allentown has become. I grew up in Whitehall and even went to Central Catholic....graduated in 1987 and can’t imagine how awful it must be to go to Central cuz of the city.

Oh man... thanks. I looked around for the original version and couldn't believe it wasn't on YouTube...
They used to play that song like 4 times a day on WZZO.
I find it amazing, actually that ZZO's format has largely remained the same for so many years... and on rare occasion when back east you would see someone OLD SCHOOL with a doctored up WZZO bumper sticker flipped over with a Y made out of the W...
"ZZO ROCKS!"

Thanks to you, that song has been spinning around in my head all day!
Brings back fond memories of some people and places that are gone forever.
