Impressive. Nine people got shot in Philadelphia between late Friday night and late Saturday night. One fatality (so far) and one arrest. People are just getting lit up in the City of Brotherly Love. Overall, fifteen people have been shot so far this weekend. There was also another shooting on South Street near Society Hill, although no one seems to have been struck. Warm weather really seems to coincide with urban gun violence. I sure would have liked a bill that throws the book at straw purchasers. Background checks are nice, but these guns are flooding the cities and going into the hands of people who did not buy them at a licensed dealer or even a gun show. And the result is just an ongoing slaughter.
This Ought to Be a National Scandal
