Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney pushed what many considered tasteless support for gun control during a press conference regardingKenney, along with other city officials, offered additional details surrounding the murder of Temple University Police Officer Christopher Fitzgerald that occurred Saturday night. While Kenney expressed his condolences to Fitzgerald’s family, he took time during the press conference to call out how easy it is to get guns in his city.
"It is simple, too easy to access weapons in our state and in our region. And that turns too many confrontations into fatal encounters, like an argument over a parking space. We are fighting an uphill battle and it doesn’t have to be this way. I will continue to call on state lawmakers for sensible gun reforms that will protect our city’s residents, including the brave men and women who have taken an oath to protect the peace," Kennedy said.
