San Francisco is an example the whole United States should well observe. Mix up the agendas of socialist, anti-American, homosexual, multiculturalist, anarchist, lawless (except where property confiscation and critic silencing is supported), and anti-business whackos. Put the power of the city behind them. Put the power of the county behind them. What do you get?
An ugly vision of western civilization's declining future, is what you get. Whatever way we can go wrong, will go wrong here in SF.
Residents will be able to get mugged and killed without having to put with a lot of noise. Danged noise polution, anyhow. Progress!! Progress, I say, Watson!
Maybe we should encourage them to ban all weapons. That is, if it won't get through airport security, it's illegal. Then let's watch the fun.
Great idea. It's why New York and Washington D.C. are the safest cities in America.
Every day is like a bad dream.
Gaaahh ... I would just grit my teeth and ignore this happy nonsense, except that I live only an hour from San Francisco, and where Big Mama Duck leads, our local city council baby ducks eventually want to follow. If they get this ban through in SF, I'm sure it will be a matter of time until it's proposed locally. (Not to mention in many other cities around the country!)
We don't even OWN a gun, except for one rifle that is a family heirloom. But I'm thinking it's time for me to join or make a contribution to the NRA. (My dad is a lifetime member -- he'll be happy to hear that I'm thinking about that! :)
I joined the NRA before I owned a gun. (I have five now) To me it's a freedom issue more than the guns themselves.
That said, the feds (Ted Kennedy to be specific) last year tried to ban .30-30 ammunition (all centerfire ammo really) so that heirloom is a target. My two sinators Carl Lenin and Debbie Stab-me-now both quietly voted for it. Lenin's an anti and is up front about it. Debbie says she's 'pro-hunting'.
In Illinois, they went after shotguns and muzzleloaders under the guise of a .50 caliber ban.
I wonder if this could be challenged as a violation of the U.S. Constitution. Even apart from the Second Amendment, it seems to me that a law allowing handguns only to certain people and not others violates the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Didn't feinstein pack a piece (I mean carry a rod, I mean carry a gun) when she was mayorette of Sodom, I mean San francisco?
Glad to hear it, Hetty. Look into Gun Owners of America (California branch) or Jews for the Protection of Firearms Ownership, too (they don't mind if you're not Jewish). Saundra Duffy can connect you with the Second Amendment Sisters here in northern Kali. You know this whole business is racist. They're mainly thinking of right-wing white males like me and "gangster" blacks across the bay over in Oakland. Can't have those uppity honkies and blacks packing heat, now can we? Well what about the grandmother who wants to protect her children and their children from the drug dealers in the neighborhood? Fat chance, lady.
YEP. I think she even was deputized or something so she could carry in DC as well.
It is not the infamous Arthur Kellerman study, which was of Seattle, not Washington, D.C.
The Loftin study compared the number of murders in Washington, D.C. (which decreased), where the handgun ban was in force, to the surrounding counties in Maryland and Virginia (which increased), both before and after the D.C. handgun ban went into effect. Notice that I said "number of murders," not murder rates. The study ignored the fact that the population of D.C. declined during the study period, and the population of the surrounding counties increased during that same period. When murder rates in these areas were compared the ban shows no effect.
There are several other defects in the study as well, e.g., the study period ended just before the crack epidemic caused murder rates to soar in D.C., even though those data were available at the time the study was done.
They won't. Newsome and the board of supes have been crazy enough to drive business out of town and they're crazy enough to drive the crime rate up too.
I'll bet Hunter McPherson thought:
'Now, if only we had a handgun ban in place, this guy wouldn't kill me.
Rats.'
The city is betting on the behavior Wei Jingsheng laments among Frisco gun owners.
When Governments want to ban guns, it's because they fear the people they serve.
