CNN Pushes More Gun Control After Record Homicides in Philadelphia

Between Friday and Saturday, correspondent Brynn Gingras appeared on several CNN shows with a report relating that Philadelphia was on the verge of breaking its all-time record number of homicides.

Instead of putting blame squarely on the left's hostility to police officers from the past several years -- led by the liberal media -- Gingras blamed factors like the pandemic and the availability of guns.

On Friday, Gingras appeared on CNN Newsroom in the morning and again in the afternoon. After beginning by recalling the city's recent increase in homicides that reached 500 last week, Gingras moved to blame several factors. Appearing live at 1:52 p.m. Eastern, she declared:

And there's a lot of issues here contributing to this. And like I said, there's no easy one solution as well. We're, of course, coming out of the pandemic -- the economy is contributing to this -- but the officials say the most significant problem that they're facing is the amount of guns that are on the street -- the availability of these guns. And, honestly, Jessica, if you talk to police departments all across this country, at least in major cities -- New York, like here, Los Angeles, Chicago -- they will tell you there are just too many guns on the streets.
