They were probably African-American, therefore don't count in the GOP Gun Culturist's math.

1. We were in Philly a few weeks ago.

and we decided to take a drive. We literally got rivers confused and ended up driving thru the are area where one of these shootings happened.

I'm not a naive woman -- nor am I ignorant of inner city poverty, but this area shook me to the very core. The poverty was astounding.

2. If only there was a gun tree there, this never would have happened.

Gungeoneer logic.

3. So what is new?

Moved out of Philly a little more than a year ago, after living there for seven years. We lived in the DMZ between Kensington & Port Richman. We only had three drug related killings within 150 ft of our row home, and one drive by shooting at the place across the street.

Did you know that the US Army sent doctors to the Temple Hospital ER to learn how to treat gun shot wounds?

Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, as in Cain & Able.

The gun nuttery is moving out to the 'burbs.
