They were quick to assume that somehow America's so-called "lax" gun laws were to blame for the man having access to a firearm. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the gunman is 36-year-old, Maurice Hill, who has a long criminal history of gun convictions, resisting arrest and drug dealing.

Hill was reportedly identified when an anonymous source told the Inquirer Hill's lawyer, Shaka Mzee Johnson, received a phone call asking him to come to the apartment building he was barricaded in.

Need a new law: Drug dealers may not buy or possess a gun.

There -- that'll do it.

Abolish the 2nd amendment and nobody will ever have guns again. No, really. Yes, they think we are that stoopid.

“Hill is also the father of a teenage boy and a two day old infant girl”.

*****

Where is the mother and this child??

It’s not so strange that these details are quite difficult to find in the media.

The MSM doesn’t want to bring up the SUBJECT of the effect of fatherlessness in the black community/family.

This infant baby girl is a perfect example of that possible damage !

And no mention of the budding career as a ‘wrapper’ or his enrolling in community college. Weird turn of events.
