Rep. Dwight Evans, D-Philadelphia, brokered a deal with House Republican leaders to hold the session on crime and violence...House Majority Leader Sam Smith, R-Jefferson, agreed to the session last week as a vote neared on the state budget...Key bills that Evans and his allies want to move include a "one-gun-a-month" proposal, which would limit handgun buyers to one purchase per month, and a measure that would give Philadelphia power to enact its own gun laws.Why would a "friend" hand our enemies such a PR opportunity?
