New Phila. Gun Laws Temporarily Blocked
PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― A judge has temporarily blocked Philadelphia from enforcing its new gun-control laws.
Common Pleas Judge Jane Cutler Greenspan says her temporary restraining order will maintain the status quo until the case is argued.
The National Rifle Association says that state law specifically prevents municipalities from regulating guns.
City lawyers argue that Philadelphia can pass supplemental laws.
The new ordinances include a requirement to report theft or loss of a gun within 24 hours. They also ban the possession or sale of assault weapons and limit purchases to one firearm per month.
Cutler Greenspan will hold a hearing on the case on April 28.
Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham says the state Supreme Court has already made it clear that Philadelphia can't make its own gun laws.
