Catching up on some recent news items we've seen:

The Pennsylvania State Legislature has passed a new bill giving the National Rifle Association legal standing to sue up to 28 towns that have passed local gun restrictions. The law is largely aimed at Philadelphia, the largest city, which has the highest gun crime rate of the group.

The change was added as an amendment to legislation about the theft of metal, which had more to do with stealing copper pipes from buildings.
