Why a Court of Common Pleas Judge blocked Philadelphia’s executive order banning guns from city playgrounds and what is the only way to change gun laws in Philadelphia?
Gun violence is at an all time high in the city of Philadelphia and more than 1,400 people have been shot this year alone in that city. This is a higher number then New York and Los Angeles, which have much larger populations (New York – 8.3 million; Los Angeles – almost 4 million). Philadelphia has less than half the population of Los Angeles and less than a quarter of the population of New York City, yet a higher rate of gun violence!
