The vast majority of guns that end up in police hands are not guns that have been used in crime. The majority are turned over voluntarily, with another large contingent that are confiscated illegally.

Even if it isn’t it seems that Ms. Shea somehow forgot to ask the Philly Po-Po for a bit of background...

Po-Po? What is the author? 12 years old? Frikkin' fool.

“Legally speaking a law-abiding citizen can only shoot someone who poses an imminent, credible threat of death or grievous bodily harm. And the armed self-defender can only shoot to stop the threat. Not kill.”

Uh...the writer apparently hasn’t been down here in Texas. We can use deadly force to protect property and we aim for center mass (except those special ops types, who make sure by double-tapping).

“On any given day, the room holds 7,000 to 10,000 guns...The volume is shocking. In a room with this many guns – dull, ugly man-made objects that exist only to extinguish life..."

So...how do the cops go in the room without dying?

If they think that is bad they should look at the chamber of horrors that are in US Prisons. Handmade guns behind bars!

When Philly gets to the point that it needs to bail itself out of debt by having a fire sale on these, let me know, wudja?

I'm surprised the author doesn't claim that they come to
life at night and dance around the room celebrating all the
death and misery they cause.

dull, ugly man-made objects that exist only to extinguish life

Not true. When I was a kid, my cousin and I used to shoot tin cans with them.

I imagine every decent gun that gets thrown into that room eventually “disappears” into some cop’s collection.

[Not now, Not ever!]

If this prissy little fool is all upset about these inanimate objects, (guns,) killing people, why isn’t she trying to ban cars?
