Stop voting away gun rights for law-abiding citizens. Kids like this operate with impunity knowing there’s good chance they’re running up on a soft target. Arm yourselves, how many times do the police have to show & prove their laziness & impotence?

Edit: add word

Exactly, this unfounded rhetoric accounts for like 25% of the Republican votes though. I blame the NRA.

We saw what happens when a good guy with a gun encounters one of these criminals the other week on the Broad Street line. Violence and death. Getting your car, cell phone, wallet stolen isn’t worth dying over.

Literally two month ago Kenney put in place an unconstitutional ban on firearms in parks.

It was eventually struck down by courts but only after GOA sued the city for it. Kenney has said he thinks people need to give up their guns and just rely on our inept police department. Pathetic and tyrannical.

Successfully? Not as often as threatened. I believe Philly has a gun registry and some more hoops to jump through for ccw than PA requires but I'm not sure

Until a group like that approaches you and one of them takes the gun out of your hand. Takes it from you while the others hold you and beat you up. Now they have a gun, and you are the one who gave it to them. Not much use to you now, and they go off and use it for more crimes.

Thank god modern day firearms aren’t muskets and it takes a matter of seconds to pull out said gun and be ready for what may come
