People continue to vote with their wallets when it comes to violent crime in their cities. Most clear-thinking Americans recognize that firearms play a big role in personal defense. After all, the only person that stops bad people with evil in their hearts is a good person with a gun.
Like many cities with Soros-funded prosecutors, Philly’s residents have seen the rise in violent crime. A majority of those folks have been on the gun control plantation for a long time, but crime converts people to a more practical worldview on a regular basis. It’s sort of like there are no athiests in foxholes during a war.
People are pulling out their wallets to protect their families the best, most tool out there: a gun.
And the mainstream media is reluctantly reporting it.
Janice Tosto never thought she would become a gun owner, especially now at age 58.
But over the last year, she began feeling a growing sense of lawlessness and danger in the city and particularly in her Germantown neighborhood. Now, she’s applying for a permit to carry a firearm.
“I’m not thrilled that I have to do this,” she said. “I’m kind of scared about doing this, but at the same time because of the way that things are going [with] all this lawlessness in the city, … as a Black woman, I just feel that it’s really important for me to have all the tools necessary to be able to defend myself.”
Tosto’s far from alone.
Since the pandemic began, gun sales and permit issuances have risen sharply in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, matching nationwide trends. In 2021, the city issued 52,230 new license-to-carry-permits, an increase of more than 600% from the year prior. In both 2020 and 2021, there were more than a million gun sales or transfers across Pennsylvania.
Ladies and gents: You don’t have to live life as a defenseless victim. Empower yourself. Become a gun owner. Get training and have confidence.
And remember, gun control disarms victims, not criminals.
