Gun control advocates have speculated about the gunman in Philadelphia who wounded six police officers on Wednesday. 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.

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

    Shocker: Philly Shooter Reportedly Has Long Criminal History... And Illegally Possesses Guns...amazing - someone who consistently breaks the law doesn't pay attention to gun regulations - hasn't stopped the mayor, governor, and DA for calling for an end to terrible gun violence by - toughening gun laws.......

 Hill is also the father of a teenage boy and a two day old infant girl. 
*****
Where is the mother and this child?? 
 Its not so strange that these details are quite difficult to find in the media. 
The MSM doesnt 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 !

    Even the Japanese news will not show a photo of the black perp . El Paso and Dayton perps’ photos still shown every day .

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