In a tweet on Tuesday, Wolf reiterated, “It’s time for Pennsylvania to have a conversation about restricting semi-automatic rifles. Dangerous people should not have easy access to the weapons that killed innocent victims in Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh City Council considering three gun control measures
The governor weighed on the issue after hundreds of gun owners protested Pittsburgh City Council’s proposed measures to ban semi-automatic weapons and certain ammunitions and accessories such as bump stocks.
The Pittsburg City Council proposed three common-sense gun control measures in December.
“I stand in solidarity with all those in Pittsburgh and across the commonwealth looking to make their communities safer. Earlier this year, I signed the first major gun safety bill in decades in Pennsylvania. It was long overdue, but we still have a lot of work to do, in Harrisburg and in Washington. I’ll continue to champion commonsense gun safety at the state level and urge Washington to live up to its responsibilities,” said Wolf at the time.
