Philadelphia officials for years have attempted to overcome the legal hurdle known as preemption, which bans municipalities from passing gun-control measures that are stricter than state gun laws.
Mayors and City Council members have nonetheless sought to ban assault-style weapons, limit handgun purchases, and prohibit guns in parks and at recreation centers.
In a unanimous decision, the high court ruled that the city’s arguments had fallen “woefully short” of the standard needed for a legal victory.
