Philadelphia City Council passed a new gun regulation on Thursday that will no doubt face a legal challenge at the state level if Mayor Jim Kenney signs it.
The legislation would establish a court process to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who pose an imminent threat to themselves or the public — commonly known as a “red flag” law.
However, the state’s “preemption” law prohibits local governments from regulating firearms, requiring the General Assembly to sign off on all gun laws.
City Councilman Curtis Jones, who introduced the bill last year, said he believed his legislation could overcome the state’s preemption law.
“We’ve been given encouraging news from the Law Department that it does have legs to stand on,” said the Democrat from the 4th District. “We may get sued, but until it goes through the courts, it is the law of the city of Philadelphia.”
Mike Dunn, a spokesman for the Kenney administration, said in an email that the legislation will be reviewed by the city’s Law Department, but stopped short of saying whether the mayor will sign the bill."I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery." Thomas Jefferson
