"In late June 1982, then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein pushed through a handgun ban in San Francisco that lasted only three months before it was overturned by the California State Court of Appeals. Twenty days after the ban was enacted, SAF took Feinstein and the city to court, ultimately beating the ban on Oct. 30 of that year. The city appealed that decision to the California Supreme Court, which allowed the Appeals Court ruling to stand in January 1983."

Lets hope the California Supreme court has enough sense to reverse this one as well. This was the court that said the Catholic church had to provide abortions in their health insurance coverage for their employees... Then again, it was also the court that halted Newsome's gay marriage (smokescreen) fiasco in SF...

The law, namely the second amendment, will prevail. I have much hope. It will be a difficult legal conflict and will never end, but who ever promised us that freedom was free?
