Philly doesn't get it

I try VERY hard not to be cynical, but the arrant foolishness of the Mayor and City Council of Philadelphia is just beyond belief.

If the proposal to limit individuals to one handgun purchase a month is passed in Pennsylvania, those who traffic in guns will go out of state to get them. Result: guns will still get to the criminals and the rights of the law abiding will be abridged for no purpose. Then when crime remains high, these people will just call for more gun control.

This is patently stupid.

Of course, if you're using emotion to gin up votes what do you care?
