I see no reason we don't have A WELL REGULATED MILITIA requirement with those extensive and mandatory training & retraining.
We do mandatory trainings with cars, food service licenses, and many other things. But, the weapons that are made to kill by literally throwing sharpened metal through the air have less regulation than baristas in many states.
And before some NRA lunatic comes in with "oh well that's not how the founders intended it," I completely reject that argument and don't want to hear it. 1) We are in no way bound to what 50 dudes from 300 years ago thought. Originalism is purely made-up SCOTUS doctrine that has no binding authority on the current SCOTUS; and 2) Even if we were bound by originalism, our society wouldn't work with it. If the founders wanted us to be able to fight the government, then it would be unconstitutional to ban citizens from having nukes and Blackhawk helicopters, which is obviously banned for a reason.

I laugh at it. People in this sub take a lot shit so literal. If only you could see who downvoted you. I’d be at their house stealing mulch right now.

I have worked in port Richmond for over 20 years. Ten years or so back I was at the target, grocery shopping and talking to my wife on the phone. I mush have been moving slowly through the isle, because a woman behind me said “out of my way, fa$&@t.” I was shocked and stood there for a minute. Before I could respond, she said “you heard me fa$&@t” and walked by me.
Charming people, the Port Richmond folks.

Depending on how you parked I might agree with the note leaver.

I had to upvote you since no one here seems to have a sense of humor.
I originally wanted to post a comment like:
"too much mulch", but figured I'd get 300 downvotes.
What is Philly coming to when no sense of humor?
WC Fields and Larry Fine would be rolling over in their grave!!!

This reminds me of the headline where cops killed a man "with no active warrants.." like.... that's a weird way of saying innocent.
(BTW, I don't know this subreddit, but it was the first one to pop up on a Google search that wasn't openly political afaik)

Willing to bet this shooter did not purchase or possess his firearm legally, and therefore would not be subject to any of these proposed new rules.
The intersection between "people who follow gun laws and training requirements" and "people who shoot up a memorial service in a cemetery for a prior shooting victim" is nonexistent, especially considering discharging a firearm in public is a felony, as are assault with a deadly weapon and murder.

Even if I am not close enough to the curb, like you said I don’t think it’s that big of a deal…

I found Fairmount Park gives out free mulch but it's about a 20 minute ride out from South Philly to 3850 Ford Ave (Fairmount Park). https://www.thegreencities.com/philly/where-to-get-free-compost-mulch/
Irrigation bag might be worth a stop at Lowe's or Home Depot. A green zippered bag you fill with water to self-water the tree. This also keep dog urine directly off the base as it tries to root. Mine also gets a yearly Jobe tree spike. (Tree is 25+ y.o. now, 2 stories high, a beauty!)

Yeah I don't know what that person was thinking. This looks perfectly acceptable to me.

Pretty much the smallest quantity of mulch you can buy is the standard 2 cubic foot bag. The good news is, it's cheap (about 3.75 right now for hardwood mulch). The bad news is, you'll have a very hard time finding it in the city anywhere but Home Depot or Lowe's. (Don't buy the dyed garbage, go all the way to the end of the row and get HARDWOOD MULCH, no dye, no bark)
However, you can get FREE mulch in any quantity you want up to 30 gallons at the Organics Recycling Center in Fairmount Park, if you are a Philly resident. However, you will need to drive there, bring your own container, and pay attention to their not-totally-convenient hours: https://www.phila.gov/services/trees-parks-the-environment/get-organic-materials/
