Pa. judge election could factor into gun-control fight between cities and state Updated 10:03 AM; HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — It is the case that Kevin Brobson cannot get out of his head: the National Rifle Association and gun owners couldn’t get Pennsylvania’s courts to consider their lawsuits challenging firearms restrictions in cities. Brobson, now running for a seat on Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, is a key figure in an expanding fight over gun laws that is drawing out in the Legislature, the state’s highest court and the state’s biggest cities. The fight over gun control is also featuring prominently in the three-way Republican primary race for the state Supreme Court seat, as Brobson and the two other candidates show off endorsements by gun-rights groups, attend the groups’ meetings or point to pro-gun decisions they made from the bench.
