Over “crime relief”? If they want crime relief, they would allow law-abiding citizens in their districts to own guns.

BANG!

[metmom]

....about gun violence and many of its root causes: drugs, joblessness and poverty.

Then instead of banning guns, they should address the root problems. Or is that too simple for them to figure out?

It’s a quagmire, we must pull out!!!

Yeah limit how many guns law abiding citizens can buy,that will stop the brothers from killing each other for crack.

It is what it is. there are some parts of Philly so bad the cops don’t even want to go in there.

[Osage Orange]

It never ends..............

IF GUNS CAUSE CRIME, MATCHES CAUSE ARSON!!

I imagine that if someone invades your home in Philly, the chances that the police will arrive in time to help is about zero.

Black people need to work toward taking responsibility for their own problems. That means encouraging a culture of virtue and honor instead of a culture of rap, hip hop, and drugs. It means defending your home instead of supporting your local drug dealer.

Black preachers need to get on to this. Family, honor, virtue, responsibility, no more poverty pimping and victimology.

There’s no way that white people in rural Pennsylvania are going to be able to solve the problems of Philadelphia. The people of Philadelphia have to do it.

Let's see, the Democrats want the United States out of Iraq so that our presence stops provoking the Islamofascist insurgents to anger, and so the Iraqi militias can "settle the issues among themselves".

Seems to me you have the Democrats in Philadelphia asking for pretty much the same thing in this "no state budget" idea.

"W" should act now to withdraw all American forces from Philadelphia (Army/Navy recruiters, Air National Guard jet fighters and transports at PHL, federal reserve bank, USPS facilities, and so forth) so that the insurgents are no longer provoked to anger.

The Governor should probably pull out any state government elements as well.

Then the various posses and street militia in the city should be allowed to settle this issue among themselves.

This should save both the US and Pennsylvania governments a small fortune. It will no doubt make everyone happy provided the refugees can be kept inside the city limits.

Once more I offer my modest (and entirely unconstitutional) proposal for gunmakers and sellers to adopt a policy of "no sales to African-Americans." The thought of the NAACP and ACLU trying to decide which cow to have is delicious.

[Nachoman]

Okay, how about no guns for black people. Would that make them happy?

With the city's death toll approaching 200 this year, six members of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus made impassioned pleas for help during an unexpected two-hour discussion about gun violence and many of its root causes: drugs, joblessness and poverty.

Sounds like their biggest issue is with their respective constituencies.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Taking guns from law-abiding citizens won’t solve the problem of this guy’s constituents killing each other. Try having them get married before having kids. Try having them stop the self-loathing hate and work and study hard.

[John D]

They have seen too many victims with guns fighting back. Without more gun control too many law abiding citizens will have guns and that would give them an unfair advantage over the criminals. We could never have that.

[toddlintown]

Have them marry their women, keep jobs and help raise their children. The gun issue will go away.

Flame away. It’s the truth.

[GovernmentShrinker]

no budget = no spending = no taxes

And no gun control is the icing on the cake.

Full speed ahead!

[Buckeye McFrog]

to the degree that all this will accomplish will be to force Ed Rendell to order a 55 gal. drum of Maalox, I like it!

[goldstategop]

To the Philly race hustlers! "We happily accept! No budget!"

Son control,
not gun control.
