Consequences of Illegal Guns in Your Home! Philly's Own Gossip Girl 2 Sense

People, I'm all for every initiative created to STOP violence in our nation. These efforts can be looked upon as ingredients to the recipe in reducing violence nationally. However, I never see city governments implementing any laws or ordinances that hit us in our own backyards. What do I mean you ask?

Clearly, these individuals who commit these crimes do not hide these illegal guns outside in the dirt or in their lawns. Am I right? Then why can't we have a law in place that any house found with an illegal gun will be confiscated? And for those who rent....they should be evicted!

Now picture this for a minute.......parents who worked all their lives for their homes will lose their house if through a legal search an a illegal gun was found! Wow, do you know how many parents would start giving a damn! REALLY! and I guarantee you.......you  won't hear anymore "OMG I didn't know" because parents, caregivers and others would start holding themselves accountable! I can hear them now, "Boy you better get this gun out my house, I'm not losing my house, that I worked hard for, because of your dumb as*........You and that gun can go!" 

Just keeping it real
Philly's Own Gossip Girl coming at ya!

#GunCrisis Solution of the Day: Philadelphia Mayor Nutter promotes “Sandy Hook Principles” to demand responsible corporate behavior by gun and ammunition manufacturers Posted: 18 Jan 2013 09:38 AM PST Newsworks.org: Nutter calls for divestment from gun companies if they don’t reform their business Earlier this week, Philadelphia Mayor Michael A. Nutter announced the Sandy Hook Principles, a code intended to influence the corporate behavior of gun and ammunition manufacturers, distributors and retailers by establishing baseline standards for responsible conduct. The Principles address five specific categories of reform in terms of procedures, coordination management, safety, and technology. Nutter modeled the code on the Sullivan Principles, put together by Philadelphia’s Rev. Leon Sullivan to get companies doing business in South Africa during Apartheid to reform their conduct, according to newsworks.org, quoting Nutter: “Philadelphia was one of the first pension funds to divest with companies doing business in South Africa. We saw that movement going across this country, in virtually every big city, some states and other investment fund managers took action.” The list of 20 principles includes stopping the sale, production, design, and conversion of assault weapons for use by civilians, and conducting background checks for all gun and ammunition sales or transfers, according to philadelphia.cbslocal.com, adding that the mayor is asking all cities, states, and institutions that hold investments with companies involved in the firearms business to adopt the Sandy Hook Principles and make those companies do the same. Today at philly.com, Patrick Kerkstra posted “a few thoughts on Nutter’s novel new gun control initiative:” This is an untested idea, and it’s not at all clear that it will work. But it seems to me to have a better chance than clearly illegal legislation or another speech about inner-city violence from another mayor trying to reach suburban and rural Americans who just aren’t listening.
