Gun-rights groups taking aim at Philadelphia’s ban on private firearms manufacturing have made their way to the state Supreme Court.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), along with several individual gun owners, challenged the law, stating that it runs counter to Pennsylvania’s firearms preemption statute. Plaintiffs also claim the law violates the Uniform Firearms Act (UFA) and Article I, Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, which guarantees the right to bear arms.
