Democrat Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order Tuesday banning the carry of guns — even by concealed permit holders — in city parks and recreational centers.
FOX News reported the signing of the executive order, quoting Kenney as saying, “This gives them some protection, some peace of mind, some ability to call the authorities when some knucklehead decides they want to bring a gun into a rec center, and they see it, that’s part of what this is about.”
The Philadelphia Inquirer noted, “The order bans guns and other deadly weapons at rec center buildings, athletic courts, fields, playgrounds, and pools. Signs about the prohibition will be displayed at the facilities, the order says, and District Attorney Larry Krasner said his office could charge those in violation with trespassing — even if they are otherwise legally permitted to carry the gun in the city.”
That won’t survive a second amendment challenge!
What a total dump a$$ he is. I’m sure all of the thugs and gang members are going to abide by this
Take guns away from law abiding citizen. Now only the bad guys have guns because they are NOT law abiding.
Mayor Idiot, just like the others in blue cities. Idiots all of them
Does anyone really think the criminals will follow this law if they won’t follow any others. It will be like shooting fish in a bowl for them.
He just made rec centers and parks future prime mass murder sites.
