Philadelphia shooting: Democrat mayor rips Second Amendment, says only the police should have guns.
Fox News ^ | 7.1.2025 | Lawrence Richrd

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.

Gee. Sure hope you aren't going to retire to New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia, or Chicago, because your days of worrying won't ever be over since you ran your city as an Assistant Democrat, using the same guidelines run by your Leftist Brethren in those areas.

But I am sure you aren't worried. You wouldn't be caught dead near any of those places. I am sure you are retiring to a walled compound in a Red state, guarded by people with guns.

Because that is who you are.

The left continues to let criminals out of jail, let illegals stay in the city and then don’t prosecute crimes…Gee, guess what happens? This is their doing and causing this on purpose all to blame gun owners. Pound sand idiot

I guess he didn’t see poor Jayland Walker shot. Yeah he was a dangerous felon shooting at police but they didn’t have to shoot him 60 times, right?

Politicians need to lead by example by giving up all forms of their personal security to include no armed security personnel and no personnel firearms of their own. Remove this puke from the public payroll asap!

Government should never be better armed than its citizenry.

Howitzers available to the citizenry, else no howitzers for Department of Defense to arm Marines in Operation Desert Storm; basically what you're sayin'?

That's the army. Its not police. And America used to not have a large standing army, even right before WWII.

PA Constitution, Section 21:

The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

That seems fairly clear.

That happened in China, North Korea, Cuba, and many other socialist, communist, fascist, anarchist etc etc etc countries, and it didn’t work out very well.
