Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney called for more gun control to prevent situations like the hours-long shootout that took place in North Philadelphia on Wednesday.

"Our officers need help. They need help. They need help with gun control. They need help keeping weapons out of these people's hands," Kenney said. "Because this government, from a federal and state level, don't want to do anything about getting these guns off the streets and getting them out of the hands of criminals."

"Our officers deserve to be protected and they don't deserve to be shot at by a guy for hours with an unlimited supply of weapons and unlimited supply of bullets. So it's disgusting and we gotta do something about it and do something about it quickly," he added.

The shooter violated plenty of laws in obtaining his guns. How would more "gun control" laws have altered that simple fact?

This whole debate is past redundant.

The answer is no. That is all.

Drug dealers have a long history of obeying laws.

Stop using facts and logic.
To make your point you must scream out with emotion about "gun control" and "too many guns" and "background checks." Lastly, you must shout that "it's for the children!!!"
Shedding some fake tears while you're doing all that will help as well.
You'll then be well qualified to run for president on the Dem ticket.
