Nick: You've got a point about "people" rather than weapons. But remember this: most of the crime in Philadelphia these days is youth related. And when guns are available.. bad things happen On the other hand -the issue is what is the priority in Phila.--a fancy downtown or safe neighborhoods.. As far as police--there were 9000 20 years ago.... 3 thousand more than today Thanks for writing. Larry Angelica:

I've lived in the city all my life from West Philly (Overbrook) to Roxborough. I've also gone to Catholic school (Roman) all my life because the public school system is so messed up. Thats the problem. These kids get the wrong message in 5th grade and carry it into later years. The only thing saving normal citizens of this city is the guns. If some dude wants to come up to a law-abiding citizen and pull a gun and endanger him and his family, he should be able to protect himself. That being said, in my neighborhood now (Roxborough) people have been getting robbed, houses have been broken into, women have been raped, and it could all be prevented if the criminals had something to fear. Why take away the only thing that protects us? And by the way... the Philly cops?! Listen my dad was a Philly cop, 20 years ago now, and they were the best then. Now...? they don't even show up...! Someone better do something down at Police HQ to get these cops up and running because it's really the citizens who are suffering. The city is out of control and it isn't the guns that are the problem, it's the people that pull the trigger that are the problem. And YO CITY HALL, DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO TAKE THE GUNS AWAY, WE HAVE RIGHTS...! Just like the criminals you continually let back onto the streets. And as a closing, ask yourself... "Who has more rights, the law-abiding citizen... or the one who just robbed the law-abiding citizen...?" In this city, the answer will supprise you.

I moved here from New York thinking it was safer now I am shocked to find out that I made the wrong move. Philadelphia has so much potential. We need to put more cops on the streets, have more programs for our youth, and have surrounding states, counties etc. have stricter gun control laws. We need to do what was done in NYC. Remember 42nd street, and Harlem 15 years ago. You should visit it now. NYC has done a great job at cleaning it all up so well. We need better, stronger political leaders to get the job done RIGHT!
