Yes, Dick Dahl and the anti's want out guns.

[flashbunny]

I sure hope they don't let the fact that this has failed every time it's been tried discourage them.

[Citizen James]

"The hope is twofold, that officers will have an opportunity to interact with folks and, if they have a handgun, that will be reason enough to confiscate it," he said. "Second, we know that for even law-abiding folks who own guns, the rates of suicide and mortality are substantially higher. So while just perceived to be a crime thing, we think there is a wide benefit to limiting the number of guns in the city." -
Bill Barnes, aide to Chris Daly, San Francisco city stupervisor.

You can bet the restrictions on Rights will result in more innocent deaths, just to appease those whom like to swim in the blood of innocent victims of the crime of disarmament.

PING

Typical libiots........

AIDS has killed far more people in San Francisco than guns ever will, but no one there wants to ban homosexuality. As we know so well, it's not about safety, but about socialism.

It's a shame. San Francisco is such a lovely town, except for all the liberals.

[muawiyah]

That exemption for "security personnel" would, of course, be most concerned with the bodyguards the rich leftists who are pushing this legislation hire.

[John Thornton]

You can sure that the elites of San Francisco will still be allowed armed guards. And the criminals will always have guns since they don't follow any laws.

[DuncanWaring]

I keep asking - "If these guys are really that upset about homicide, why don't they just ban murder?"

[pennyfarmer]

Next thing you know they will be banning drugs and then only outlaws will have drugs.

"Juliet Leftwich, managing attorney at the Legal Community Against Violence (LCAV) in San Francisco"

What an appropriate name!

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

One of our Supervisors, Matt Gonzales, graffiti'd the walls in his City Hall office recently. Just so you what kind of morons we're dealing with.

[longtermmemmory]

actually this smacks of a set up for a test case to establish that the second amendment is not an individual right. I submit this is a trojan horse with an goal of establishing case law to reinvigorate gun control relegislation.

[Chode]

i wonder if they will use the permit lists???

hello... we're form the government and we're here to help pick up your guns!!!

keep telling yourself it's just a dream, it's just a dream...

[Waco]

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!

[freedom_forge]

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.

[John Jorsett]

Great idea. It's why New York and Washington D.C. are the safest cities in America.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

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! :)

[Dave Olson]

prohibit the ownership of handguns by everyone except law-enforcement officers, members of the military, or security personnel.

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.

[ozzymandus]

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?
