There’s no disputing the fact that Philadelphia has a violence problem. The city saw 499 homicides in 2020, which was the highest number in nearly 30 years; and shootings, carjackings, robberies, and murders are still on the rise in 2021. Last week eight people were shot in broad daylight at the city’s Olney Transportation Center, but so far police have yet to make any arrests in the case.
On Friday afternoon, Philly mayor Jim Kenney, police commissioner Danielle Outlaw, District Attorney Larry Kransner, and other officials held a press conference demanding that the Republican-controlled legislature in Harrisburg get to work on passing sweeping gun control legislation, including a ban on semi-automatic long guns.
