'Guns, Jimmy': Stephen King Explains to Rep. Jim Jordan Why Philadelphia Has Had 400 Homicides

The Chicago Tribune used to keep close track of gun homicides in the city. They numbered in the hundreds annually, and that's just Chicago. Rep. Jim Jordan recently pointed out that Philadelphia has managed to rack up 400 homicides so far in 2023. That's a pretty astounding number. If only they'd defund the police and send in social workers.

Stephen King explained why there were so many homicides to "Jimmy":

Guns have been going around killing people?

Whenever progressives think about "gun culture" they think of lawful gun owners and the NRA. It is the culture — it's generations of kids who've grown up with no respect for human life. People like King think states with concealed carry are like the Wild West with shootouts on the street every day. But it's the Democrat-run cities with strict gun control laws that have all the homicides.

We know that people like King would like guns to just vanish, like they were never invented, but no legislation can do that. So they figure the next best thing is to confiscate guns from legal, law-abiding gun owners and leave them defenseless against the criminals.

We wonder how many of those homicides were committed with illegal firearms. How many NRA members were arrested?

Fun fact: The U.K. has a knife control problem:

It's the knives?
