The anti-gun witch hunt in Newton, Massachusetts that led to hundreds of residents in the town of Newton demanding that a new gun shop in town be shut down appears to have gotten their way, at least for the moment. The city’s now issued a stop-work order for the owner, preventing him from doing any more renovations on the facility while the mayor and city council members scramble to find a way to keep the business from opening its doors to customers.
“Every single councilor has signed on to an item that’s very specific about looking into what kind of regulations we can put on gun stores,” City Councilor Rick Lipof said in a phone interview.
