I have a solution, make Philadelphia and Pittsburgh their own states. Then you can enact whatever dumb shit laws that won't work. You can keep the black on black crime too.

Pittsburgh actually isn't that bad. Philly is where the problems are - that one city accounts for over 50% of all crime in the entire state despite being only 13% (or so) of the population.

Pittsburgh is so safe now that I feel comfortable carrying just a G43 in my car instead of a G17.

He doesn't mention if his sister's killer passed a background check.

It looks like her killer has previously been caught three times carrying a firearm without a license.

His speech sounds inspiring to people who don't realize that background checks are already required for the type of weapon used to kill his sister. Her killer was already prohibited from possessing a firearm so how would making him more prohibited have helped?

See what he is missing is common sense would mean to actually enforce the laws that are on the books already first. Oh and maybe heaver sentences for criminals to prevent them from getting back on the street and doing it again...... Shit my bad I tried to apply logic to crazy again that could never work
