(The article also says two private dealers in the city can continue to sell guns too, but doesn't say who they are.) The other portion of the law, requiring everyone to turn in their weaponry, doesn't go into effect until April 1, 2006 anyways, at which point the legal case should probably be decided one way or the other.
