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
