Philadelphia D.A.: The Genesis of Philly Mass Shooting Was From Licensed Carriers

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRASNER: “We do have something new, which is that charges have been brought against two people, the second of the two people known to be involved in this terrible shooting that occurred in philadelphia was apprehended by U.S. marshals and has been charged. This is a very heavily ongoing investigation. A lot of people are losing a lot of sleep over it. I have been on the phone with the chief and homicide of fatal shootings. Atf is collaborating closely. There has been a gathering of a tremendous amount of video that has shed a lot of light on what’s going on. One of the ironic things that we are finding is that this all grew out of a two-on-one confrontation, two people against one person. Among those three people, this started out as a fistfight. And two out of those three people were licensed to carry a firearm. The genesis of this terrible mass shooting was not about illegal weapons. The genesis of this mass shooting was about everybody has a weapon. So, fistfights that in my day would have resulted in a broken knows or at most a broken jaw turned into absolute mayhem on the streets, which takes me back. What are we going to do in a country that has 120 guns for every 100 people? What are we going to do with this? Other countries have dealt with this. We need to stop acting like guns are more important than people and we need to throw out the politicians who got us here. If the nra likes them, throw them out. If the lobbyists meet with electeds, throw them out. If they take money from the gun lobby, throw them out and we will have a safer society.”
