But if the cause of more murders in Philadelphia is the lack of yet more gun control, why isn't murder increasing in the rest of Pennsylvania? Pittsburgh saw just a 7 percent increase. Why haven't murder rates gone up in the rest of the country? Should Phoenix, the city closest in size to Philadelphia, claim that its murder rate remained virtually unchanged for the last five years because of the supposed lack of new gun control? How should Dallas explain its 24 percent drop in murder?Please, stop.
The Mayor of Philadelphia is much too busy for all these pestering details.
He's got his new iPhone to attend to, after all.
CAMP GUNFREE!
A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life. MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!
Details below.
Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?
Are you as alarmed as the United Nations and some within our own government about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos allowed to run loose?
Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated right?
While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.
Nazi Germany Weapons Law (1938) §1: "Jews are prohibited from acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons. Those now possessing weapons and ammunition are at once to turn them over to the local police authority."
At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.
The unique main gate at Camp GunFree.
The sign over the beautiful wrought iron gate declares: NO FIREARMS ALLOWED! Most arriving camp guests never see this view from their comfortable rail cars.
Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns will ever be smuggled in.
No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.
All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.
Camp Director, Oberstfurher Koch, and his crack staff are here to see to your COMPLETE safety from dangerous firearms.
Spacious and comfortable sleeping accommodations are a hallmark of Camp GunFree. Room and board are provided to each member in exchange for rewarding tasks designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and to demonstrate that large numbers of people CAN exist even if for a short time -- in a gun violence free community.
Camp members engaged in one of our many fun-filled organized play activities.
Current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!

SOLUTION: Pass some laws forbidding asteroids from hitting earth. Set up press conference to discuss your own hard stance on asteroids and pat yourself on the back. Get in limousine and take a private jet to Aruba for vacation as a reward for a job well done.
Excuse me, but I have to get my Belgian Browning and go outside to watch for flying pigs. Surely there will be a pig pickin’ tonight!
Phila has slid in the sh*tter since Street took office. I can tell by the type of people and the amount of litter laying around in previously nice areas. It used to be confined to parts in the North around old 611 and the West, but now its creeping up along Rt. 1 into the Northeast. My inlaws old neighborhood in Olney is turning into a hell-hole.
Street has told the cops and judges to keep off the blacks, regardless of what they do.
When Rendell was mayor, we had an excellent chief of police. Now we don’t. He is not getting the job done; I don’t know how he keeps his job.
Hard to believe, but its true. Not that it will amount to much. If anything, the mayor, police commissioner and district attorney will probably cast themselves as the victims and issue some sort of rebuttal, dimissing this editorial as right-wing propaganda, and the exact reason why the city must seize all guns in order to save lives. That will be enough to sate the masses and then everything will be right (or left) with their world.
Exactly.
Death penalty for murder is the way to stop murder.
Gun control is the way to abrogate the 2nd amendment.
Capital punishment may not be a deterrent, but it sure cuts down on the recidivism rate.
sylvester and streety must be good chums.
Bla bla bla, yadda yadda yadda, bla bla bla.
You could be right. I don’t know anything about the politics of that relationship.
