Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney blasted the 2nd Amendment over the 4th of July Holiday weekend; saying the USA should be more like Canada and only allow police officers access to firearms.
Kenney was speaking with reporters outside a hospital where two police officers were being treated for gunshot wounds.
“I’m concerned every single day… I’ll be happy when I’m not the mayor,” he added.
“It was a chilled back day, beautiful weather. But we live in America where we have the Second Amendment and we have the Supreme Court of the United States telling everybody they can carry a gun wherever they want,” he said.
“I was in Canada two weeks ago and never thought about a gun,” he said. “The only people I knew who had guns in Canada were police officers.”
“That’s the way it should be here,” Kenney stated.
“If I had the ability to take care of guns, I would,” he said. “But the legislature won’t let us. Congress won’t let us. The governor does the best he can [and] the attorney general does the best he can, but this is a gun country.”
“It’s crazy,” Kenney added. “We’re the most armed country in world history and we’re one of the least safest (sic).”
