Last time someone online made an argument for gun bans and against concealed carry permits in Philadelphia because of a number of nightclub shootings, I looked up every shooting (about 7, IIRC). Not one was with a legally-possessed gun -- several of the shooters were from Camden, others were fugitives and convicted felons. I'm not looking up all 20-some this time; I'm assuming the guns were already illegal unless shown otherwise. A gun ban will do zip about Philly shootings, a concealed carry ban something less than zip.
Of course you're right, but what has that have to do with politics and making useless gestures in the news. SOMETHING, must be done....so they are doing SOMETHING, however stupid and counterproductive.
