NEWTON, MASS. (WHDH) - The Newton City Council approved restrictive zoning regulations for gun shops.
The regulations say firearm businesses would have to be located a certain distance away from homes and schools, and they would need to get a special permit from the city council.
This vote will likely prevent a proposed gun shop on Washington Street from opening.
Hundreds in Newton signed a petition in April to stop it from opening its doors.
