The Democratic Mayor of Philadelphia claimed that ‘only police should have guns’ following a shooting that left two officers badly injured in the city on Independence day.
As Fox News reports:
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney suggested the Second Amendment and the United States Supreme Court were too lenient when it came to gun rights, following a shooting that injured two police officers near a Fourth of July event on Monday night.
…
“It was a chilled back day, beautiful weather. But we live in America where we have the Second Amendment and we have the Supreme Court of the United States telling everybody they can carry a gun wherever they want,” he said.
…
“I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun,” he said. “The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers.”
“That’s the way it should be here,” Kenney stated, before saying such an idea was “never going to happen” in his lifetime.
Philadelphia has been racked by a major uptick in violence since the riots surrounding the death of George Floyd in 2020.
Oh Look! Another oath breaker. You know, the one where he put his hand on the Bible and swore to defend the Constitution of the United States…etc. That means ALL OF IT ya bozo, not just the parts you like. Resign!
I love how you make a legitimate comment on this site and SOME LIBERAL S.O.B. DECIDES TO TAKE IT DOWN. SO MUCH FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT……………………………..
👍🏼 Well said Michael!
They need America to fall first so that they can implement their “New World Order” however there is never mention of how they will keep the criminals that are actually doing the killings to get rid of their guns. Also what about cars & trucks that have been used in crimes along with knives?
Mayor Jim Kenney why don’t you move to Canada your doing a shity job in Philly.
Amazing that the Mayor of Philadelphia (Jim Kenney) wants to disregard the US. Constitution. If we all notice and these Democratic Mayors sure as HELL do not, gins are not the problem, enforcing the law and putting criminals that use illegal guns in prison is the answer. Look the following cities have the problems all HEADED by DEMOCRATS: Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco. TIME FOR THE REAL AMERICAN VOTERS TO VOTE AND REMOVE THESE INCOMEPTENT INDIVIDUALS (SOROS PAID SOCIALISTS) OUT OF OFFICE. They DO NOT enforce the law, they DO NOT put them in prison, they DO NOT use STOP AND FRISK. I AM GOING TO WRITE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN: LEGAL GUN OWNERS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM……ILLEGAL GUNS AND CRIMINALS ARE THE PROBLEM….DO YOUR JOB AS MAYOR, PROSECUTOR AND GOVERNOR AND THIS CRAP WILL STOP. HAVE SOME BALLS IF YOU HAVE ANY IF NOT GROW A SET.
Couldn’t agree more Maverick! I think the answer is more guns. Conceal & carry for everyone! They keep saying it will be like the Old West. They’re right! Darn tootin’! Picture a saloon/bar…. When one idiot pulls out a gun and sees and hears the “click” of 20 other guns in the hands of law abiding citizens pointed at him, that idiot will think twice about shooting’ up the place! Case closed. Police can’t be everywhere, or in time.
It is always wrong to punish the law bidding for the actions of the criminal.
Gun free zones are the shooting galleries for the criminal and the mentally ill.
Move to Canada then
F U Kenney!
When seconds count the police are there in minutes. Democrats suffer from clouded, illogical thinking which is why they’re Democrats.
Dear Mayor Kenny,
When Phili did not prosecute the Antifa and BLM violent extremists the summer of 2020 nor hold the Floyd protestors accountable – you essentially gave all the bad apples the green light to Burn Loot and Murder at will. Toss in defunding the police, ‘bail reform’ and election fraud by Democrat Abscam graduates, what did you expect?
Xanda has no Bill of Rights, USA does/ So take Canuck illegality to Canada you ignorant yutz.
Gary
That’s how communism starts
Really, I know people in Canada that own guns legally and they are not Canadian Mounties. I am tired of people using gun control as what they see is a pandemic, instead of increasing the funding for mental illness. They use the term Assault Rifle or Weapons, the. U.S. Army is the only branch to use the term Assault Rifle and their definition is as follows: A Rifle that has selective fire and detachable magazines. The AR rifles sold to the general public do not have a selective fire switch. You have to pull the trigger every time. Second the term Assault Weapon or Rifle was originally started by Adolf Hitler and he was the first to disarm citizens and defund the police.
Canadians are only free on paper. A disarmed society is an enslaved society, completely at the mercy of the government.
Philadelphia has become the Ahole of the USA under Democratic administrations!
I wonder how many shooters (mass and otherwise) used legally procured guns. There is a reason there are so few gun crimes where there is concealed carry: the shooter doesn’t know if the “victims” are armed.
But Mr Kenney you were surrounded by security forces with guns so why would you even think about a gun. Rules for me not for thee
You will have a war on your hands if you try to take our guns away. The criminals will still have them and the police cannot always be there when you need them. I have a God given right to defend myself and my family. You will never take that away from me.
This is how the statement should read: ‘The Democratic Mayor of Philadelphia claimed that ‘only criminals should have guns.”
No, Kenney. You mean only cops and criminals should have guns.
It has been said, and history proves: “In any country where cops and crooks are the only ones who have guns, it will inevitably become increasingly difficult to tell them apart.”
When guns are banned, only CRIMINALS and GOVERNMENTS will have guns!
Especially CRIMINAL GOVERNMENTS!
As HISTORY PROVES time and time again!
What we don’t want are more Stalins, Lenins, Hitlers, Il Duces, Castros, Maos, and Pol Pots, with their concentration camps, death camps, gulags, genocide, Gestapos, KGBs, and the rest of the apparatus of state terror.

Every time the gun grabbing conversations come out, there are “coincidentally” a number of shootings across the country, and what better day for the left to play this game then on Indepdendence Day….it’s like they are saying, Want to be Free America, Give up your Guns. Only they haven’t figured out, no one is buying their bs.
Simple TRUTH – people in Canada can and do own guns. Licensed, registered. These guns actually shoot bullets too! That means the Mayor lied (misinformation). When will he be banned? The difference in Canada? People respect the law, think God means something and respect each other. Know that, lived there.
If he likes Canada’s laws so much, perhaps he should move there.
