On Monday, a judge in Philadelphia blocked Mayor Jim Kenney's (D) ban on guns at city recreational facilities. The injunction was issued less than a week after Kenney signed an Executive Order putting the ban in effect.

An attorney for the organization Gun Owners of America filed a lawsuit claiming that Pennsylvania law states that local municipalities cannot regulate the lawful possession of firearms, 6 ABC Action News reported.

Judge Joshua Roberts of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas declared that Kenney's order violated the Uniform Firearms Act.
