Interesting insight on PA gun politics

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports on the Philadelphia mayor's push for State gun control: ""I haven't heard from them," said State Rep. Dennis M. O'Brien, ...who chairs the legislative committee where many gun bills favored by city leaders are currently bottled up.....
"The only time I hear about it is when they have press conferences," he said.
Street may be crooked, but he's not stupid. They know that
a) Gun control won't solve the problem
b) There's a snowball chance in hell of it ever getting anywhere in Harrisburg anyway.
But they want to make it look like they care and are doing something about the problem, without actually doing anything.
