Philadelphia firearm license applications see nearly 600% increase: report
Fox News
Firearms license applications in Philadelphia have increased by 600% since 2020, according to a new report.
"If you were to relay the math, you would see that that corresponds … in a consistent manner to the rise in violent crime, especially violent gun crime and gun-related crimes in Philadelphia," John Sullivan, a former Philadelphia police officer, told Fox News Digital. "I'm sure part of that is also related to COVID — increasing gun sales during that period. But that trend continues."
The unusually high number of firearm license applications submitted last year came as Philadelphia saw a record increase in homicides last year. By the end of 2021, Philadelphia recorded a total of 562 homicide victims, compared to 499 in 2020 and 356 in 2019.
