Defying the law by restricting guns in order to "do something" about crime makes as much sense as....
... defying US civil rights law by reintroducing Jim Crow laws, in order to "do something" about improving race relations
... taking the vote away from women and forcing them to stay at home, in order to "do something" about womens' rights
... putting children into the care of known pedophiles, in order to "do something" about child abuse
Apart from the fact that Nutter, in passing these putative laws, is defying the laws of the state of PA, as duly passed by its elected legislature, there are these things to consider:
Either Michael Nutter hasn't done his homework on the effects of "gun control", or he's so terrified of the Philadelphia criminal community that he feels compelled to introduce measures that empower them further (of course, there couldn't possibly be any other possible reasons).
It's inconceivable that Nutter hasn't done his homework on this topic. If he's so terrified of the local criminals that he's willing to subvert the laws of PA and the rights of its citizens, then perhaps it's time for the national government to send in the US Marshals or National Guard to help him clean house.
It worked with George Wallace when he defied the law of the land in favor of bigotry, and I'm sure it can help with the Philadelphia of poor, helpless Mayor Nutter.
