READING - A regional coalition of mayors yesterday announced a joint effort to enact local gun legislation, following the lead of Philadelphia officials...

 

The mayors said they were following in the footsteps of Philadelphia, which passed legislation involving lost or stolen weapons in April.

 

"Are we going to sit there and wait for the state to give us the laws, or are we going to do something about it?" said Mayor Sal Panto of Easton. "Thankfully, Philadelphia has done something about it."...

 

C. Scott Shields, an attorney for the National Rifle Association, argued that the proposed legislation violates state law that prevents local governments from enacting their own gun legislation. Proposed legislation that would have empowered local governments to enact gun-control laws was defeated last year.

 

Shields said the NRA would likely sue the municipalities if they enacted what he termed "illegal gun laws."
