Dem mayor rips Second Amendment, says only the police should have guns

Standing outside the hospital where the two police officers were treated for gunshot injuries, Kenney told a group of reporters that only police officers should be allowed to own guns...

"I’m concerned every single day," the mayor said just after midnight Tuesday morning, alongside Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.

The mayor said he recently visited Canada and remarked that gun violence did not once cross his mind.

"I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun," he said. "The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers."

"That's the way it should be here,"

Kenney also suggested he would unilaterally strip citizens of the right to own firearms — if he had the authority to do so.

The war on guns is a war on women, and a war on the handicapped, and a war on minorities of all kinds, guns are the only practical equalizers in self defense.

@$!# Dems.

When seconds count your police protectors are only minutes away.

Great meme: I saw a movie where only the police and the military had guns; it was call Schindler’s List.

Go away.

Lots of historic leaders have agreed with the mayor’s position. Let’s see: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and too many other tyrants to remember off hand.

I leave my house every day and not think about guns. Problem is his city not mine.

He is astonishingly ill informed if he really thinks that there are no firearms in Canada.
The little town I live in is quite well armed, as 2/3 of the population hunts. There are also a few target shooting pros here.

Yes, he is ignorant.

Maybe Mr. Mayor should move to Canada.

"I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun," he said. "The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers."

Come to my neighborhood, some 100 miles from Philadelphia. There are more guns than people and you won’t see cops around. There is no violent crime here.

These leftists lack all critical thinking abilities. The think they are knowledgeable and sophisticated, but never venture into flyover country, which is the vast majority of the country. Having peaceful, law abiding citizens is not contingent on a lack of guns. Philadelphia and big cities need to look inward. It’s the people stupid. They are rotten to the core. They can continue killing each other. Eventually it is a self solving problem. Just don’t send my tax dollars there.

Anyone that can listen to this talk and be willing to “compromise” with totalitarians like this is one of them in disguise.

It won’t be long before they openly admit that your gun ownership hinders their totalitarian goals. They are close to that now.

Why didn't he add the old saw, "or die trying?"

But Obama dreamed of blue helmeted soldiers and sailors under United Nations leadership to replace all US forces,
—— and a national police force of cops run from DC in all cities to replace current local “racist” police we have today. The national force would not stop driving while black, home invasion teens, mobs of teen rapists or organize retail store looters.

But would be vigilant for Deplorables supporting Trump.

You think it’s bloody now, just wait until only government and the Democrats have guns. . . .

Prequel for that horror movie is called "Life in Venezuela."

He should go somewhere where only police have guns.

I prefer freedom.

If each of us has a personal security detail that would be fine.
