Editor's Note: This egregious misleading headline is counteractive to the efforts of a local business owner attempting to lawfully combat the growing threat of crime in one of the nation's most prolific democratically run cities.
The owner of a Philadelphia gas station chain hired private security guards with semi-automatic weapons to guard his properties after several cases of burglary, carjackings and vandalism — a move that has divided the residents. Neil Patel, who operates 22 gas stations around Philadelphia, told local media that he was sick of the crimes being committed in the city and decided to hire security personnel who can now be seen around his gas station in Kevlar vests and semi-automatic guns. |

Twice in that little excerpt alone they mention the "semi automatic" guns, as if that is somehow unusual or scandalous. Are you getting your notes from the dementia patient in chief, who insists that he wants to ban them despite not having any idea what they actually are?

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
