Crime in Philadelphia discussion (Newtown, Parker: garages, offices, complaints)

And by the way, some of them are committed by people legally carrying - such as last week's motorcycle incident, and one of the shooters from last year's South Street shooting. "The bad guys will get guns anyway" argument is pretty stupid when very few criminals get guns in every other high-income country on earth.

Do you understand that if Krasner was prosecuting the people caught carrying illegally, there'd be less gun crime? There are laws on the books ...

Ok, then ... Do you really expect a lone cop to run into moving traffic? That would be stupid.

The horse is out of the barn here already. If there's never another gun sale allowed in this country, there are already more than enough guns on the street to support the criminal element.

Maybe Hermit and others will agree on a repeal of the 2nd Amendment. Then we get the guns.

Let's get the guns, folks.

I'm just curious because I'm a bit on the fence on this, do you not have as much issue with rifle ownership (not assault rifles) as you have with pistols ? I feel theres no need for average Joe to have an AK but think having a rifle or shotgun at home for defense is reasonable.

At this point your head is just in the sand if you don't think the availability of guns in our country has anything to do with the amount of shootings. We SHOULD be enforcing all laws on the books too, but conservative's feigned ignorance to how guns are contributing is getting pretty old.

Can you agree that people carrying guns without a permit should spend some time behind bars? Say, five years?

How about hard time for committing a crime with a handgun?

Guns aren't going away.

The city is doing a sweep and confiscating a lot of ATV’s, very good news. This interim police commissioner is doing more in a few weeks than Outlaw did in her entire term.
