    Wolf unveils gun violence effort after Philadelphia shooting

    HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf directed state police and other agencies under his control Friday to focus greater efforts on addressing gun violence, two days after a gunman shot six Philadelphia police officers.

    Wolf said set up a new Special Council on Gun Violence and gave it six months to recommend how to reduce mass shootings, domestic violence, suicides and accidental shootings.

    He also established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention at the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and delinquency and a violence prevention division within the Health Department.

    The announcement had been planned for Thursday but was rescheduled after the nearly eight-hour standoff in Philadelphia that left the officers with injuries not considered life-threatening. A suspect who fired at police from inside a building before finally surrendering has been arrested but not yet charged.

    Wolf said state police will expand and support gun buy-back programs and increase monitoring of hate groups and white nationalists. His state police commissioner, Col. Robert Evanchick, said he will set up a task force to consider what steps to take regarding gun buy-back efforts.

    The Office of Gun Violence Prevention will work to deter shootings in areas with high rates of violence and coordinate the reporting of lost and stolen guns to police.

    The governor’s office says more than 1,600 people died of gunshot wounds in Pennsylvania in 2017.

    House Democratic Whip Jordan Harris, who represents a Philadelphia district, recounted how this year in his city there have been eight cases in which at least four people were shot — with victims who were walking down the street, waiting for takeout food, attending a graduation party and gathering to shoot a music video.

    “I have to go home to a place where my life is not safe, and there’s far too many Pennsylvanians doing that on a daily basis,” Harris said, wiping back tears at Wolf’s Capitol news conference.

    Wolf, a Democrat, also urged the Republican-controlled General Assembly to enact standards for safe gun storage, pass a “red flag” high-risk protection order bill and require state-level universal background checks for gun buyers.

    Wolf signed an executive order flanked by activists and Democratic state lawmakers but was not joined by any Republican senators or representatives, a reflection of the polarized nature of gun issues in the politically divided General Assembly.

    Sen. Lisa Baker, a Luzerne County Republican who chairs the Judiciary Committee, has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 24-25 on behavioral health, Second Amendment gun rights and related issues.

    Baker said in a news release last week that all government officials should be looking for ways to end the plague of mass shootings.

    “Taking symbolic steps sends a message, but it ultimately does not save lives,” Baker wrote. “Something unworkable or unenforceable or unable to withstand a legal challenge does not provide the real protection our constituents are demanding.”

    House Republican spokesman Mike Straub said violent firearms offenses have fallen by nearly 40% in the state in the past 13 years.

    He said the Pennsylvania firearm purchase background checks already exceed what is required by the federal government and argued the Philadelphia police shooting “proves once again that criminals will not follow changes we make to existing firearm laws.”

    The Media will be our downfall. Every station is highlighting this stuipdity promoting "Wolf's response to Gun Violence!", like it will be some type of panacea. Ridiculous, propaganda, and lies. It is sickening to watch.

    It should have been a Office of Violence Prevention,, not a Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Guns are only one branch of the violence tree. get the tree, not just a branch.

    It should have been the Office of "Keep violent Felons in jail, so they can't commit more violent crime". Maybe these Democrat politicians should do their jobs, enforce existing laws, and not plea gun charges, and violent crime down to minor sentences.

    Agree with renoV8- this is well organized, and I don't think this is just grandstanding. It's a widespread attack to find as many back-door methods possible to undermine the 2nd Amendment that Wolf said he "recognizes, but..." This order is also a massive allocation of resources (i.e., our money). Directs PSP to start looking at "white nationalists;" you know, the ones with MAGA hats. Wolf supports red flag laws so that these mentally unstable people who think they need guns can be dealt with (the true aim of these laws). He wants to expand see something- text something so that your neighbor can anonymously report you for whatever (gunfire on your property on the weekends, open carry, violent bumper stickers, etc.) and get your name put on a list (at the minimum). And on and on. Using all these agencies/ resources for the purpose of "reducing gun violence" also further entrenches the anti-gun culture within the government. Speak against this attack on our rights to whomever will listen.

    Why doesn't he just issue an executive order to stop dealing/using drugs , and another one to all residents of Pennsylvania to stop shooting each other.
