(AP) — Two Philadelphia City Council members are headed to court next month, seeking the authority to implement firearms regulations passed in May that have not become law.

Needles to say, state lawmakers and the NRA are not pleased and are already working on measures to put this to bed.

The gun ordinances would:

_Limit handgun purchases to one per month.

_Require police to be notified of lost or stolen firearms.

_Require a police-issued license to bring a firearm into Philadelphia.

_Mandate annual renewal of gun licenses.

_Allow police to confiscate guns from people who pose a risk of harm to themselves or others.
(ed note: Who decides the criteria? The police? City council? Michael Nutter? What a dangerous concept!)

_Prohibit possession of assault weapons.
(ed note: Define "assault" weapon...my SOG style knife is an "assault" weapon...a Marine Ka-Bar is an "assault" weapon)

_Establish a registry of ammunition sales.
