Cops and guns (The Next Mayor)

One of the Would-be Mayors, Dwight Evans, is talking about guns -- and gun control. This follows the fatal shooting of a cop during a robbery Tuesday night.
Dwight also says the city isn't doing nearly enough to press the issue in Harrisburg:
"I do think among some people there's a recognition that the gun policy is totally out of control," he told the Inquirer. " "The story continues: Asked about the city's role in pressing that argument, he said: 'The answer is they could do more.'"
We all know bringing up gun control is a sure-fire way to start an argument.
But doesn't the murder of a good cop require the city -- and state lawmakers -- to at least try to talk about this?
And is anyone alarmed that, after the shooting, cops stopped five cars in the area that matched the description of the suspect's car -- and they all had guns in them? This from the Daily News:
"After the shooting, dozens of police cars swarmed into the area around the bar and made several stops.
"Johnson said that five men had been stopped because they fit the description of the suspect and that all had guns.
"At least one of those stopped was arrested because he was wanted for a robbery.
"None has been tied to Skerski's murder, however, police said."
