Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney suggested the Second Amendment and the United States Supreme Court were too lenient when it came to gun rights, following a shooting that injured two police officers near a Fourth of July event on Monday night. 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 and that he is looking forward to retiring, so he no longer has to deal with gun violence.

I have lived rural for over 29 years.
IF I need a deputy, I would be lucky to see one in less than 10 minutes.
When seconds count-—the police are only minutes away.
“Kenney told a group of reporters that only police officers should be allowed to own guns . . . “
No thanks, I’ve seen the movie and don’t care to be in the remake of it.
Movie?? ‘Schindler’s List’
“ that only police officers should be allowed to own guns”
Yeah, I saw that movie. It was called “Schindler’s List”
Once again, criminal democrats prove why the 2nd amendment was written down in the first place.
Read and heed my tagline.
Kenney should resign immediately and move to Canada.
Yes, I saw that movie, too, and would NOT be in any remake of it. Certain death.
“... but they didn’t have to shoot him 60 times, right?”
I can’t see why they shot him 60 times. No way can that be justified.
Yes, that's the army, and the army (w/ its howitzers) is part of Government. Executive branch of federal Government includes Department of Defense.
If thesis "Government should never be better armed than its citizenry" is correct, then Army shouldn't be better armed than the citizenry. Army not part of Department of Defense, now basically what you're sayin'?
YES, that’s what I am saying
I live in a city of 260,000 - I am lucky to see the police arrive in 10
Minutes.
Interesting. The Federal Register says: The American Continental Army, now called the United States Army, was established by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1775, more than a year before the Declaration of Independence. The Department of War was established as an executive department at the seat of government by act approved August 7, 1789 (1 Stat. 49). The Secretary of War was established as its head. The National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401) created the National Military Establishment, and the Department of War was designated the Department of the Army. The title of its Secretary became Secretary of the Army (5 U.S.C. 171). The National Security Act Amendments of 1949 (63 Stat. 578) provided that the Department of the Army be a military department within the Department of Defense.
