Peduto Lies about Lost or Stolen :: 05/22/2014

When Bill Peduto talked about fighting crime during his run for mayor last year, he touted a measure he'd supported while on Pittsburgh City Council-a 2008 ordinance requiring gun-owners to report the loss or theft of handguns.

Peduto lied when he said he'd enforce Lost or Stolen, but we'll give him credit. He told the truth when he said enforcement would result in an unwinnable lawsuit. Was Peduto pandering to the minority vote?
