The rest of PA has illegal gun problems too, it's not just Philly. PA is now THE place to buy illegal guns -- it's too easy and criminals know that. We need laws to track and find the guns and the people using them to hurt and kill.

[MomsAgainstGuns]

Moms Against Guns indeed is against illegal guns -- and against the unnecessary killing of kids and innocent people by criminals who are able to buy illegal guns easily, due to lax gun laws in the state.

[MomsAgainstGuns]

There is so much illegal gun violence in Philadelphia, this is a state of emergency -- and the mayor is acting upon that. It's not an anti-gun meausure as much as a measure to stem the violence caused by illegal guns -- stopping a bleeding wound.

Disarming the LAWFUL is NOT the answer!

Gun Laws do NOT stop CRIMINALS!

Banning guns only creates helpless victims to fill violent crime reports!

These are FACTS!

[MomsAgainstGuns]

Thanks for your comment MIT1369. I appreciate your statement, but our initiative has nothing to do with banning guns. In fact we believe that every law abiding citizen has the right to own a gun and to bear arms. Check out Governor Ed Rendell's video to better understand the loop holes that are being used by illegal gun traffickers throughout Penna. We are not out to disarm the lawful. We ARE out to stop illegal gun sales (straw purchases). I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts...

I like how they say "it's all about the children", only to strip us of, yet, another right.

[bleachwad]

0:53-1:01 lying bastard, I know plenty of legal Philadelphia handgun owners who have never shot anyone, take that fascist propaganda and shove it

[shameera93]

its not only the children i believe that the satelites will give images of those in authority commiting some of these crimes i beleive the mayors and police dept have been aware of this for years just check google satelite the cars that are shown to be leaving the seen of most homicides look alot like the unmarked police cars, IS IT THE POLICE LETS ALL B PRIVELEGED TO CHECK THE SATELITE SO WE COULD SEE WHO IS THE REAL GUN HOLDERS OF ALLLLLL THESECOLD CASES IN PHILLY AND NEWYORK

[GuyBelowFails]

At 0:36, after he says "..They have found a way to live with reasonable gun restrictions" Some guy coughs right after he say that. Anyone else notice that?

Another civil right, when I'm being attacked, I would like to shoot back.

Mayor Nutter is a nutter

[parallelpinkparakeet]

How about giving Philly kids something to do instead of letting them loose on the streets and turning to gang life. That's their problem! Clean up the neighborhoods around there. Educate the people. Gun control is only a false sense of security. If I were a criminal listening to this I'd head right over there and rob all the houses I could, because I'd know that Philadelphia's citizens are unarmed and not dangerous to me.

[parallelpinkparakeet]

Detroit has some of the most strict gun control laws in the US. It was also named the most dangerous city in the US last year. It is WORSE than Philly. Stricter gun laws are not the answer because criminals don't listen to the law. Philly wants to sue PA because it won't allow them to implement laws such as paying a $10 registration fee per year, limiting the purchase of guns to one per month, etc... Do you think the black market will listen to that? If so, you're naive.

[pacodelahoya2000]

It is amazing that he uses New York and New Jersey as examples of a gun free utopia. Let's look at the demographic of who these criminals are that are killing in the inner cities....never mind, that's not politically correct.
