Yet another AR related shooting.

Make no mistake about it, our AR's are on the chopping block, and soon.

I read the article....must have missed the part that said he had an AR-15.

Only mention of a weapon in the article, "Ross said the suspect had "some kind of .380" weapon on him when he was arrested."

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is also looking to combat gun violence. Wolf's office said Wednesday he will sign an "executive order to make sweeping changes to executive branch agencies and programs to better target the public health crisis of gun violence."

Hill "likely" used an AR-15 rifle to fire at officers, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said. Hill also had a handgun in his pocket when he finally surrendered to police.

Mr Kenney called out politicians for their failure to address the gun crisis and confront the National Rifle Association's powerful gun rights lobby.


Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney has joined calls for gun control
"It's aggravating, it's saddening," Mr Kenney said. "If the state and federal government don't want to stand up to the NRA and some other folks, then let us police ourselves."

He added: "Our officers deserve to be protected and they don't deserve to be shot at by a guy for hours with an unlimited supply of weapons and an unlimited supply of bullets."

The incident followed deadly mass shootings in California, Texas and Ohio, in which gunmen used semi-automatic rifles.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said he was angry the gunman was able to amass such firepower.

“We’ve got to get these weapons out of people’s hands,” Kenney said after visiting wounded officers in the hospital.

"Literally as the shooting is unfolding ... as there's wounded officers ... being taken for medical care. The Democrats running for president are politicizing it."

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., weighed in on gun violence during the standoff, admonishing the NRA.

"We must take legislative action to stop gun violence. But we also need to understand the corruption that makes politicians protect the NRA over American lives — and how right-wing judges in our courts enable it," Gillibrand tweeted. "We need to change that."

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. retweeted a clip of Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney calling for gun control and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif, challenged Republicans to pass the Bipartisan Background Checks Act.

Hill’s lengthy criminal record includes burglary charges, illegally taunting a police animal, aggravated assault, drugs, DUI, reckless endangerment and various gun charges, perjury and robbery––among other charges.

Hill, from Philadelphia, has been arrested roughly a dozen times since turning 18 and has been convicted six times on gun, drug and assault charges, the Inquirer reported. He has been in and out of prison, including serving time in federal prison, the newspaper reported.

dang...reading his arrest report was enlightening. https://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketShe ... 6YmA%3d%3d

he was just "a poor, misunderstood kid who was turning his life around."

(insert sarcasm here)

If one thug can shoot that many cops and hold a police force and swat team at bay for that long , just imagine what it will be like if they think they can confiscate all the AR's that are out there.

It's illegal to taunt a police animal? I'd like to hear that story.

Clearly, any more laws regarding firearms would not have stopped this guy from doing anything.

Geee,... with an arrest record like that, seems as though background checks are a joke.

Yet, the Demonscat Deep State Coup Traitors are calling for more.

Hmmm,.... could it be they want a record of all weapons purchases and who purchased them,... for am more diabolical reason???

Naaah,... say it ain't sooo!!! :whistle:

In Addition,... I have been witnessing the "PANIC BUYING SYNDROME" for a few decades. Seems to me, there is a bit of a pattern by a few chicken little's, promoting such, due to possible personal gain,... hmmm, just say'n.

Yup.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
