Anti-gun and pro-gun demonstrators clashed at a gun shop in Kensington Saturday.
When an interfaith group opposed to guns rallied at the Shooter Shop, they were met by counter-protesters, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
It all added up to a lively demonstration of the First Amendment and a quarrel over the Second Amendment as the sides each mustered about 40 protesters outside the gun shop, on Allegheny Avenue.
When the antigun advocates from Heeding God's Call went into silent prayer, the pro-gun folks sang "God Bless America." When the antigun folks sang a hymn, an opponent shouted, "Long live the Second Amendment."
Heeding God's Call has been asking gun shops to sign a pledge to take more care in preventing bulk purchases of guns intended for resale to criminals, called straw purchases.
