The city of Columbia, South Carolina decided they needed to do something about various shootings in their town. They passed a gun control law. Now, this isn’t overly surprising since a lot of communities do it.
However, Columbia is in a state that has preemption. In other words, it’s illegal for them to do so. A judge ruled that it was illegal.
Then there was a shooting. Like, just after the ruling, and the media there is trying to tie the two events together.
Gun-control rules enacted by the city of Columbia violate state law and are invalid, a Richland County judge ruled May 4.
