When the only tool you’ve got is a hammer, it is said, every problem looks like a nail. When you’re a Democrat, every problem looks like an opportunity for government regulation:
Advocates took a stand against gun violence Friday at the Chester County Courthouse. Cease Fire PA wore orange as they held a rally to kick off Gun Violence Awareness Month.
Survivors and gun control advocates came together to honor those lost and pushing for the state legislature to pass more comprehensive gun safety measures.
Many hospitals in Philadelphia feel like a war zone with so many gunshot victims. The team at Jefferson’s Einstein Medical Center is working hard to save lives in the hospital and the community.
“I didn’t know if I was ever going to walk again,” said Thomas Hunter.
Hunter was temporarily paralyzed after being shot in the abdomen three years ago.
“It can happen to anybody,” he said.
Knowing the agony of gun violence, the 26-year-old now works at Jefferson’s Einstein Medical Center, helping other victims and their families.
“I meet them where they’re at. I instill them with hope, resiliency and empowerment,” Hunter said.
Einstein’s trauma center is ground zero for gun carnage. Hundreds of victims end up there and it’s taking an emotional toll on the staff.
“Every single shift, they feel that burden of the constant gun violence in our city,” said Sarah Misuro, who is a nurse. “It weighs very heavily on you – everybody.”
The story continues, with the story of “fighting gun violence”, and blah, blah, and wash, rinse, FAIL, and repeat! Gun buy backs, giving away trigger locks, more laws that will not work, and, of course, blaming guns rather than thugs, Soros backed D.A’s that do not believe in fighting crime by actually punishing violent criminals. Again, wash, rinse, and so on. In short the left is far more interested in banning guns than fighting violent PEOPLE! People who would be violent and dangerous if guns had never been invented.
Mr. McCain has some very good thoughts
Has Ms. Way taken a close look at the kind of “gun owners” who are actually perpetrating the violence in Philadelphia? Has she examined the statistics or analyzed the various cases that make headlines in the city that has been dubbed “Killadelphia”? Grant that the city’s homicide rate is not as high as Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore or New Orleans, but it’s high enough to be in the deadly category of Worse Than Chicago.
But the people who are committing the shootings in Philadelphia are not going to be deterred by any “gun safety measures” that the Pennsylvania legislature might conceivably pass, and they certainly aren’t going to become “responsible” by giving them free gun locks.
Crime is a people problem, and the only way to deal with it is to (a) identify the criminals and (b) put them in prison.
What has gone wrong in “Killadelphia,” as in so many other American cities, is that Democrats have elected a “progressive” district attorney, Larry Krasner, who doesn’t want to put criminals in prison. As a result, you have convicted felons running amok in a climate of lawlessness where criminals do not fear the police. This problem cannot be solved by passing new laws, when the existing laws are not being enforced.
AND AMEN! As I have suggested to the Mayor of Richmond, and local news channels, the issue of gun safety could be greatly improved through education. Why do these channels and mayor not find actual gun safety experts and give them time on newscasts to explain safely handling/owning/storing guns? They have financial experts, and child care experts, pet experts, and nutritional and dietary experts on all the time. Why not people who are experts in firearm safety? I mean thy find time to report about “gun violence” every chance they get, and accidental shootings, so why not actual safe handling of firearms? Sadly, I think we know……. THE ALMIGHTY NARRATIVES! And this narrative is all about guns bad! Wash, Rinse………FAIL!
