Philly Mayor Just Said Second Amendment Wasn't Written
For AR-15s, AK-47s, Or Multiple Shot Clips

Quote
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney made ridiculous comments about the strict regulations
on the sale of wine and liquor compared to the lack of restrictions on the sale of firearms.
He suggested that if guns were regulated similarly to alcohol, it could be beneficial.

This is ridiculous because in Philadelphia, purchasing alcohol only requires a license
verifying that you're at least 21 years old. However, buying a gun involves passing two
background checks: one through the Pennsylvania Instant Check system and another
through the National Instant Background Check system.

Felons can legally purchase alcohol in Philly, but cannot legally purchase a gun.

Additionally, the individual in question was only 18 years old and therefore not legally
permitted to purchase a handgun.

Mayor Kenney's remarks came after the tragic killing of a Temple University police officer,
which was committed with a firearm that police have not yet recovered. While it is uncertain
how the shooter obtained the weapon, Kenney used the incident to criticize the lack of
restrictions on firearm ownership and purchase in what he called a "gun-crazy state."

He also stated that the second amendment wasn't written for AR-15s, AK-47s and Multiple
shot clips.

This argument is silly because if the founding fathers wrote the second amendment so that
the people had the necessary arms to fight back against a tyrannical government and the
current government is running around with machine guns, you really think the founding
fathers would say the people should only have muskets to fight back against a tyrannical
government that has machine guns?

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Seems like anyone questioning junk science gets censured.  But, Dims who push anti-2A narratives that go against multiple court decisions, including the Supreme Court, as well as arguing against a plain reading of the 2nd Amendment, are propagating lies and disinformation. 

Those people don't speak as if this is a personal opinion, but rather a definitive interpretation which only anti-2A zealots agree with.

Imagine a country where private censorship of ideas contrary to government interests is not just permitted, but required.  Oh, wait!  That would be Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba .....  They try to gaslight us into believing our press/propaganda machine is any different today.

More and more people are getting into government and politics.

Not to serve, but to self serve..........

To them government is not power to the people.  It is power over the people......
