This guy lets Mayor Nutter have it with both barrels Some prime excerpts
Nutter Shooting Blanks On Philly Gun Laws ... So now, we'll hear all the excuses about why he was "forced" to execute a police officer in cold blood. Some will play the race card. Others will blame society. And no doubt we'll hear from some quarters that it was a grand police conspiracy. Isn't it always? Which leads us to Mayor Nutter. He's blaming guns for Officer McDonald's assassination. What else is new? Yep, that's it. As a result of the state not allowing Philadelphia to enact its own gun laws, another cop was killed. If you didn't see Mr. Nutter try to insanely connect these dots at his press conference, it just wouldn't be believable. But banning guns has always been the panacea for the Mayor of America's murder capital. ... Here's a quick lesson in the law. If you're a convicted felon, as Giddings was (and a very dangerous one at that), you can never legally buy a gun again. Never. That means that the weapon he used to kill Officer McDonald was obtained illegally. So no matter how tough you make it to buy a gun in Philadelphia, hardened criminals like Giddings will still obtain them illegally. ... The mayor's proposed restrictions would only serve to hinder law abiding citizens who simply want to defend themselves and their families in what has become Gotham City, pre-Batman.

That, my friends, is common sense. Glad to see it exists, even in Philly.
