Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker and Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel have maintained that the Black Lions’ [carry permit] revocations were lawful. Bethel has expressed confidence that the federal investigation would exonerate his department.
“Once they get behind the scenes and see what we do and why we come to that place of revocation, they will hopefully understand that we do it with purpose,” he told The Trace. “We have a process and a purpose for why we would take a gun from someone.”
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner questioned the motives behind the federal probe and said he supported the police revoking more licenses. “There’s way too many guns out there. There’s way too many permits out there,” he said. “We see homicides by people with a permit to carry all the time.”

When history repeats itself, nobody listens. Even though it repeats the same subgroup over and over again.
Combat veterans returning to athens tennessee. Who had fought for other people’s freedom. Came back to find their own local government, just as corrupt as the one they had been fighting against in Europe.
The spark that started the Athens revolt was these white veterans witnessing a black man, trying to vote in a local election. He was attacked beaten and thrown out of the polling place.
When Dred Scott wanted his freedom, his slave master Marie Sanders, she sued to keep him. The supreme court said that if he was a free person, then he could have a gun and carry it with him wherever he went. And obviously a black person was a slave and needed to be disarmed.
The black codes were all passed in order to keep newly freed slaves and future generations of black people disarmed. In the south.
And in california , gun control was passed because the legislature was afraid of the mexican and chinese gangs. Who primarily used .410 shotgun weapons.
The black panther party for self-defense made the mistake of carrying their weapons onto the legislative floor. In california. Open carry is a 1st as well as a 2nd amendment civil right. But you need to be smart when you’re going to open carry.
But you do have every right to voice your opinions while armed to any person in authority.
And now, once again, we have a group of black men who voiced their opinion to people in authority. While carrying guns and they didn’t like what they said.
The difference now in the 21st century, is it you have a Republican administration, That is actually going to fight for the civil rights of these black gun carriers.
Civility while carrying guns is a must. But that should not stop you from voicing your opinion on very sensitive topics.
Speaking of history repeating I get the feeling that soon a regular question at Democrat primary debates will be “what is your final solution to the Jewish question?”
This story should carry a preemptive “trigger warning” in the lead.
“This story discusses mental illness and complete total self-absorption. It also discusses denial, megalomania, and acute cranial-rectal immersion.”
I would be curious how many permit holders actually commit homicide in Philly compared to the total. Somehow I doubt that it is “all the time”.
“Somehow I doubt that it is ‘all the time’.”
And you would be correct. Take careful note when a left winger anti-gun person uses the term ‘homicide’ and to what they are not telling you (what is missing from their tale). There are different types of ‘homicide’, one of which is ‘justified homicide’ also known more generally and broadly as ‘self-defense’ when it results in a death. The left winger anti-gun love to throw in self defense cases to inflate their claims of ‘homicide’ which they want to imply are all ‘murder homicide’. Thus, from them, you get these broad statements and you get things like “We see homicides by people with a permit to carry all the time.”
It’s a big number if you ignore the proceeding decimal point.
Exactly, that is the question!!
Wait… this is the same Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner that the PA supreme court very recently ripped a new one and had to assign him a ‘baby setter’ (the state AG) to monitor cases because his prosecutors lied so much to get criminals off or get lesser penalties or lied to the court in attempts to get criminal cases overturned.
The PA Supreme court said since Krasner took office in 2018, city prosecutors have ‘repeatedly lacked candor to the court, misrepresented facts, failed to conduct adequate investigations, and inexplicably dodged necessary evidentiary hearings’
Since 2018, Krasner’s office has engineered the reversal of more than 100 convictions through post-conviction concessions, none tested by the adversarial process, by use of lies and misrepresented facts.
Philly has so many homicides because Philly has Krasner.
Larry trainer is another Soros paid far leftist Democrat who hates all law abiding American gun owners.
He wants to blame white gun owners for crimes the 13% commit- drive by shootings, shooting at block parties, shooting at rival bars, shooting at other gang hideouts.
The 13% commit around 75% of crime in Philadelphia, but his office refuses to charge them. Why?
Larry Krasner needs to be removed from office immediately and placed into a mental institution for study and observation.
“We see homicides by people with a permit to carry all the time.” Can he list 3-4??
Well, obviously there are statistics. Can we see the statistics for who is committing murder?
I suspect that murders by lawful CCW holders are much lower than murders by criminals.
Permit holders as a rule do not commit homicides. The number, nationaly is vanishingly tiny. The focus should be on the usual suspects.
And I consider it extremely unfortunate that Larry isn’t one of the victims in Philadelphia.
