Give it back!

Governor Rendell is again calling for changes to Pennsylvania gun laws following the first fatal shooting of an on-duty Philadelphia police officer in a decade.

"What I’m going to try mostly to do is convince the legislature to let Philadelphia have the right to pass its own gun laws. We had that, when I was mayor, up until 1996 – then they took it away from us. I’d like them to give us that right back," Rendell said.

Americans used to have a lot of freedom when it came to defending ourselves and our country. We had that, when we were citizens, up until about 1934 - then they took it away from us. I'd like them to give us that right back.
