NUTTER ANNOUNCES LAWSUIT TOSHUT DOWN GUN SHOPS

WHO: Mayoral Candidate Michael Nutter

WHAT: Nutter’s upcoming lawsuit

WHEN: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 Time: 1:00 p.m.

WHERE: 6100 Block of Torresdale Avenue

WHY: In response to 26 deaths in the first 23 days of the new year, Mayoral Candidate Michael Nutter will soon file a lawsuit against two gun shops in Philadelphia to revoke their business licenses.

“We need ‘Safety’ Now’,” said Nutter. “Licensed gun shop owners who do not heed obvious red flags on multiple purchases of guns are just as guilty as the person purchasing guns for illegal resale on our streets. Gun dealers must be held accountable.”

Nutter will provide details of the lawsuit at a press conference tomorrow in the 6100 block of Torresdale Avenue at 1:00 p.m.
