Cops Keep Getting Shot by Criminals Who Aren’t Allowed to Have Guns
15th August 2019
The news media reported relentlessly on all matters relating even remotely to the horrific murders in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Fair enough.
But I haven’t heard much from the mainstream media about the shooting in Philadelphia of six police officers by a felon who wasn’t permitted by law to possess a firearm. Maurice Hill is believed to have fired more than 100 rounds during his standoff with police. Reportedly, he was armed with an AR-15-style weapon and a handgun.
How many people die every week in places with rigidly strict gun control laws, like New York, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, and D.C.?
If gun control worked, those cities ought to be havens of safety. Instead, they’re free fire zones, especially for young black males.
