<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philly, we\u2019ve got a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city that\u2019s got a mayor waging a gun control campaign against law-abiding gun owners can\u2019t account for more than 200 of their own guns. Philadelphia\u2019s Sheriff\u2019s Office was blamed in a report<\/a><\/strong> for failing to account for 210 taxpayer-funded service firearms and firearms that were seized. They went missing between 1977-2015, but only came to light in 2019 when a confidential complaint tipped off authorities that \u201c15 long guns\u201d were missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That began an investigation<\/a><\/strong> that showed the city\u2019s missing guns issue was 173 percent bigger than what was first believed. The people tasked with enforcing laws, including court security and prisoner transfers, couldn\u2019t follow their own regulations and keep track of their guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia\u2019s gun control cabal, including Democrat Mayor Jim Kenney, is sure to miss the irony here. For clarity\u2019s sake, this is the situation detailed clearly. The same people who want to use law enforcement to curb the gun rights of law-abiding citizens and track and confiscate guns can\u2019t even keep track and control of the ones for which they\u2019re responsible. Officials are saying<\/a><\/strong> there\u2019s nothing to see here, move along. It was a problem with the old regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year-long investigation by the City Controller\u2019s office blames<\/a><\/strong> \u201cphysical disorganization,\u201d and \u201cpoor record keeping\u201d by the sheriff\u2019s office. That might have been obvious when investigators saw firearms in piles on the floor and haphazardly stored. Firearms belonging to the sheriff\u2019s office and those that were seized were comingled and some were still loaded when stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seventy-one firearms recovered in the investigation are \u201cunknown,\u201d meaning there\u2019s no originating paperwork. Investigators can\u2019t determine of the firearms were duty firearms purchased by taxpayers or if they were seized, and if they were seized, from whom they were taken. Sixty-seven firearms that were seized were never documented by serial numbers, making origin determination impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Controller\u2019s investigation believes that at least 25 of the 101 taxpayer-purchased sheriff\u2019s firearms just weren\u2019t returned<\/strong><\/a> by deputies when they left the force. Another word for that is theft. It\u2019s worse, though. The City Controller\u2019s investigation found evidence<\/strong><\/a> of trading at gun shops with city sheriff\u2019s office guns. At least 13 seized firearms and one service firearm were traded for 10 new firearms through a local firearm retailer. The retailer provided investigators receipts and records of the transactions and there\u2019s no allegations or evidence of wrongdoing by the firearm retailer, but serious questions remain for sheriff\u2019s authorities for illegal transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn\u2019t wash. The ones who were supposed to be minding those who were minding the armory had no idea what was going on. It might have been because Mayor Kenney has been too busy on a campaign to shave off Second Amendment rights in his city. He pushed<\/a><\/strong> to illegally enact his own gun control legislation even after Pittsburgh had been rebuked<\/a><\/strong> by Pennsylvania\u2019s Supreme Court for a similar attempt in 1993 and was again rejected<\/strong><\/a> in 2019 by an Alleghany County judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Kenney invoked gun control to protect police after an hours-long shootout with a criminal occurred in 2019 when officers attempted to serve a warrant. He said stricter gun control was needed after several officers were shot and injured. But Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said the mayor was grandstanding on his own failure to enforce laws. The suspect was previously arrested nearly a dozen times, for charges and convictions that involved illegal possession of guns, drug dealing and aggravated assault. He was sentenced by a federal judge to 55 months in one instance. He was previously convicted for illegal possession of firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect that shot officers was a convicted violent criminal, who was barred from possessing a firearm. That didn\u2019t stop Mayor Kenney from capitalizing on the shocking event to push his gun control agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are plenty of laws. It\u2019s not a lack of gun laws,\u201d Johnson explained in a National Review<\/strong><\/a> interview about the suspect, Maurice Hill. \u201cHill is not in the business of obeying laws.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mayor of the City of Brotherly Love can\u2019t honestly look his fellow citizens in the eye and answer that he\u2019s properly accounting for the guns for which he\u2019s responsible. Mayor Kenney is less interested in doing his job to be responsible for the city\u2019s firearms and more interested in pushing his own gun control agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
