CAMPBELL, Ohio- A Campbell city ordinance banning the sale of guns within the city has been repealed after sparking controversy among council and residents.

The ordinance was originally passed in January with the intention of stopping gun shops from opening in the city.

Last weekend, protesters gathered to voice their opposition to the ordinance, which also prohibited residents from selling firearms privately.

Council said they will attempt to craft a new law that would be more narrowly tailored at some point in the future.
