We say time and time again that something has to give but there’s too many folks out there that just seem to get unlimited access to firearms and obviously, they’re not afraid to use them on each other, and as we’ve seen over the past couple weeks, they’re not afraid to use them against our officers,” Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.
