A Philadelphia judge this morning temporarily blocked
enforcement of a package of five gun-control laws enacted last week by City
Council.
Common Pleas Court Judge Jane Cutler Greenspan also said that
the order would remain in effect pending a further hearing April 28.
C. Scott Shields, the lawyer who filed the lawsuit for the
National Rifle Association, said an emergency order was needed to allow city
gun shops to know which guns they can sell.
The lawsuit was filed late Tuesday, just hours after District
Attorney Lynne M. Abraham told City Council members that she believed the
gun-control package was unconstitutional and that she would not enforce it.
