It carried a blunt directive that will shape the city's fight against opposition groups. (Tap the video player above to watch the report. )"Our citizens have a constitutional right to life, and that outweighs a gun manufacturer's right to profit," Peduto said. "We know that the capacity of these guns -- not simply the amount of bullets they can hold, but the volume at which they can hit a human body -- is something that doctors will tell you they can't sew, they can't fix. "Lawsuits were filed against the city minutes after the bills were signed, stating that Pittsburgh is violating Pennsylvania laws that prohibit local municipalities from creating their own gun laws.Peduto indicated that the city is ready to take on the legal battles that await. "So what we're going to do is we're going to overturn this law, and then we're going to overturn this law in Florida, and then we're going to overturn this law in other states," he said. (SCROLL DOWN FOR A FULLER EXPLANATION OF WHAT'S IN THE GUN LEGISLATION. )_______OPPOSITION TO NEW GUN RESTRICTIONSA handful of gun rights activists arrived at Peduto's office late Tuesday morning, asking if they could get inside for the noontime signing of the legislation. "I want to witness the mayor breaking the law -- and where is the DA, where is the sheriff? Why ain't they over here to take care of my rights? That's why I'm down here," said David Haid, of Mount Washington.There was no scene or conflict with the uninvited visitors but they weren't allowed inside.Instead, they watched a livestream of the signing on the WTAE mobile app, making comments as they did. (Tap the video player below to watch the report. )"You see a criminal in action right there," said one man. "Yeah, lock him up," responded a woman. "It's official. The mayor and City Council are now criminals, worthy of prosecution in the state of Pennsylvania," said Val Finnel, of Kennedy Township. "We are going to file private criminal complaints on Friday. There are six (city) residents that are going to come forward and do that. "They are alleging the mayor, council and city solicitor are criminals for going against state law by regulating the use of guns. "We will not sit idly by while our constitutional rights and state law are violated by politicians who refuse to obey it when we are expected to obey the law," Finnell said. "Oppression and violations of the Uniform Firearms Act, and, you know, taking away rights of citizens," said Mary Konieczny, of the South Side. Konieczny is one of the city residents who say they will file the private criminal complaint at Municipal Court downtown on Friday morning.Meanwhile, an attorney representing Firearms Owners Against Crime and the Allegheny County Sportsmen's League, and other groups, said they were filing two lawsuits over the city's actions. "It is unfortunate that city's taxpayers will be burdened by the city's elected officials believing it is acceptable -- and even gloating -- that they are violating the Pennsylvania Constitution and Crimes Code," attorney Joshua Prince wrote.A group called Everytown for Gun Safety said its litigation team will help defend the city. "Everytown is proud to stand with the City of Pittsburgh as it acts to prevent future gun violence after the horrific massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue, " said Eric Tirschwell, director of litigation for Everytown for Gun Safety, in a release posted online.The statement said Everytown Law "will serve as co-counsel with the Pittsburgh City Solicitor's Office in defending the City of Pittsburgh in any litigation resulting from the city's passage of gun safety measures." Peduto had said previously that private attorneys were providing their services and support to the city for free._______WHAT ARE PITTSBURGH'S NEW GUN RESTRICTIONS?The gun safety legislation was passed by City Council last week in a 6-3 vote. There are three ordinances.The bill prohibits using assault-style weapons publicly in the city limits of Pittsburgh.That includes on the street and in public buildings, but does not include any businesses like gun ranges used for firearm training or practice.The bill says "using" includes brandishing, firing or pointing the weapon at a person or thing. It does not bar owning assault-style weapons, or transporting them outside the city. However, the weapons must be unloaded and not fitted with a magazine.It also bars using assault-style accessories with the same restrictions as the weapons.Additionally, an ordinance grants authority to the courts to temporarily seize guns from people who pose a danger to themselves or others, such as someone in the throes of a mental health crisis.Councilman Corey O'Connor said the council listened closely to critics and decided to soften the bills. He said a proposed ban on military-style assault rifles was reduced to a ban on the "use" of such weapons in public.The full definition of "use" is laid out as:§ 1102.02 PROHIBITION ON USE OF ASSAULT WEAPONSA. It shall be unlawful to use any assault weapon in any public place within the City of Pittsburgh.B. For purposes of this Section, "public place" shall include streets, parks, open spaces, public buildings, public accommodations, businesses and other locations to which the general public has a right to resort, but does not include a private home or residence or any duly established site for the sale or transfer of firearms or for firearm training, practice or competition.C. For purposes of this Section, "use" of an assault weapon does not include possession, ownership, transportation or transfer. "Use" of an assault weapon shall include, but is not limited to:1. Discharging or attempting to discharge an assault weapon;2. Loading an assault weapon with ammunition;3. Brandishing an assault weapon;4. Displaying a loaded assault weapon;5. Pointing an assault weapon at any person; and6. Employing an assault weapon for any purpose prohibited by the laws of Pennsylvania or of the United States.D. For purposes of this Section, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that an assault weapon is loaded if fitted with a magazine.<doc-sep>A Pennsylvania state representative said he was moving to have Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto impeached after the mayor signed new gun legislation in the city Tuesday.

Follow KDKA-TV: Facebook | Twitter PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) — Mayor Bill Peduto has signed into law a set of gun bills that have sparked much controversy among gun rights advocates and those in favor of gun control in the City of Pittsburgh and across Western Pennsylvania. “There was a lot of opposition,” Mayor Peduto said. “But more people in the community quietly showed their support.” Opponents immediately filed suit Tuesday to block it. The opposition is against restricting military-assault weapons, banning most uses of high-capacity magazines and allowing the temporary seizure of guns from people who are determined to be a danger to themselves or others. “To say large capacity is false,” said NRA spokesperson Amy Hunter. “That’s not the case. Anyone who knows firearms would not call them large capacity. That is very much political leverage. It’s a term applied by anti-gun activists.” Pittsburgh City Council passed the package of firearms bills by a vote of 6-3 last week. The legislation was introduced last year after the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill. Eleven people were killed when a gunman opened fire during services, and seven others were wounded. Some of those survivors were in attendance while the mayor signed the bills. Mayor Peduto said the community has come together “to say enough is enough.” “Change doesn’t happen on its own. Change only happens when you challenge the status quo,” said Peduto. WATCH: Mayor Bill Peduto Signs Legislation — RELATED STORIES: Pennsylvania law prohibits local regulation of guns and ammunition, and a coalition of gun-rights groups filed a lawsuit minutes after Peduto signed the bills. City Council members watered down the legislation before passing it in an effort to make it more likely to survive a court challenge. After the vote last week, Mayor Peduto said, “We’re not surprised by the lawsuit, we anticipated it. We look forward to the next part of the challenge, through the court system.” He offered assurances to city residents that they will be not be burdened with any lawsuit-related costs. “We will be represented by Everytown, a national organization that will be putting a team of lawyers in place for us,” Mayor Peduto said. On Friday morning, other city residents, including Dr. Val Finnell, plan on filing private criminal complaints, demanding the district attorney file charges. “I’m sick and tired of politicians violating the law and getting away with it,” said Dr. Finnell.
