RE: Philadelphia Plans To Enact Illegal Gun-Control
they're a funny group down there. i try to stay out of philly politics as much as my allows.
a week ago, several philly state representatives introduced a bill (which is going absolutely nowhere) tightening up PA's gun laws. the bill prompted a counter-demonstration, at which a banner read that one of the state reps should be hung from the tree of liberty. the philly caucus viewed it as a death threat, and one said it had racial overtones. given the history of lynchings during the civil rights movement, i understand the reaction, although i'm not certain that was the message the banner was supposed to convey.
what was ironic about the whole thing was that one of the representatives who supported the gun-controlbill said that he felt his life was now in jeapordy, and he was going to start carrying a handgun.
must be something in our water.
