Exactly and it leads us back to dealing with mental health and criminals. We know where and how gun violence occurs. And it’s not with law abiding citizens.

I guess he missed the part about dealing with mental health……and it was a hand gun.
im just saying that people mental health issues are all law abiding citizens until they snap.
His parents were anything but responsible even before purchasing that gun. So what’s your solution? You were all about the “assault weapon”, and now you’ve deflected.
If during the snap they commit a crime then they are no longer law-abiding citizens.
Some people are irresponsible with alcohol and marijuana too. We probably should eliminate those from society too. They’re all law abiding citizens until they get behind the wheel and do damage.
this is separate things im addressing. i guess you equate law abiding and responsible as the same
id need to analyze a lot of things before having a solution. including how many instances of self defense with assault weapons, outcomes, preventable cases, mental health cause, legislature, etc.
i dont think the right to bare arms today applies the same way that the forefathers meant it to
to get the answers to those questions i just proposed. thats what i would do step 1.
I agree. Until our wonderfully productive congress changes the constitution, it is the law of the land.
The thing with the mass shooting is that the press likes them because it creates news.
There were four people killed in the Oxford High School shooting. It receive tremendous press coverage.
9 people are killed in Chicago in one week and you hear little about it.

All time record for Philly....all time! And the sad part is that the casualties are almost exclusively all minority (and committed by minorities). This gets air time on the local Philly stations, but most of the politicians are in denial, much less care about fixing the problem.

its all north and west philly. lots gang related. center city, while has some crime ex:
jewelry theif, is pretty safe. weve been fine.
these homicides are in gang territory and btw they do indeed lead the nightly news. when shootings happen outside of gang land it goes national
So the people in those neighborhood count the same. No place for a child to grow up.
it looks like the ATV and motorcycle craziness is happening in Center city.
Glad you’re OK. One of my neighbors sons lives in Center City and works for an investment firm. He said the quality of life and emptiness downtown is very noticeable.
Expect the solution when that other guy gives the health care solutions
Philadelphia has been a shit hole (debatable) and their government is not improving the current situation (not debatable)
atv and motorcycle craziness is much less than a year ago. went almost silent, now a few are back
emptiness in downtown re: https://6abc.com/center-city-philadelphia-business-philly-holiday-market-christmas-village/11286278/
Center City pedestrian traffic is rebounding, but office occupancy remains low - Technical.ly
The number of people in Center City each day is increasing, but where they are headed tells a story of pandemic recovery.
office culture is down everywhere with WFH. not because of crime. and that part of town is always a ghost town after work. its equivalent to wall street.
people in philly are a bit more resiliant though.
