Hear that islamic terrorists: You can take out San Francisco because they won't be able to fight back.
Let me understand this --first S.F. declared criminal behavior was now legal in San Fran--then they run a pogrom
against law abiding gun owners. What a queer response.
"...the Second Amendment imposes no limitation on California's [or any other state's] ability to enact legislation regulating or prohibiting the possession or use of firearms" and ...."does not confer an individual right to own or possess firearms." See Silviera for a discussion
they can't attempt to solve th eproblem of "Gangs" why that would discriminate against some fine upstanding mommies son; inhibit the drug trafficking; and reduce the need for
more cops and more money for cops--why attacking the problem of gangs in San Fran would be a disaster to more than just the trial lawyers.
This little exercise in futility may in the end be good for RKBA advocates and those who insist upon liberty. A lawsuit will no doubt ensue over this insanity that may once again wind up in the 9th Circuit who will no doubt uphold the ordinance, thus setting up yet another appeal to the US SC. While I don't really trust those distinguished gentlemen (and that buttwipe, Ruth Bader Ginsburg) this ban also involves a confiscation, a move so ludicrous that the SC might finally have to "do the right thing" and actually rule in line with the Constitution (for a change). It is more likely that the California Supreme Court will hear the appeal. Although those bastards upheld the West Hollywood "Saturday Night Special" ban, the San Francisco ban goes much much further; to the point of confiscation.
I'm not sure this was a correct interpretation. In the second amendments language "well regulated" was a qualifier for the militia, not the people.
It seems more likely the second amendment was saying, although the federal government has to have control of an army to secure our state, the citizens are protected from misuse of this army by their own right to have their own arms.
The context of the bill of rights was, after all, to ease the peoples fears that the new government might become a tyranny.
The California DOJ has a complete list of pistol buyers from around 1989 to the present. They can simply cross reference this list and go collect the guns of those who bought since 1989. That a$$wipe AG, Bill Lockyer, has been using this list to track down those who have come under a domestic violence restraining order in order to confiscate their firearms.
Prosecutors and police officers say it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist — that there is no case of someone being prosecuted for use of deadly force when they were protecting their home.
They said the same thing about gay marriage, and the Defense of Marriage Act.
The article should have mentioned that the District of Columbia has a changing demographic. The city is pushing the poorer people to the suburbs, and the crime rates are rising there as a result. The crime will not rise as swiftly because all of the bordering areas allow gun ownership, and Virginia is a concealed carry state (we do not need a permit for open carry).
I live across the bay but know 2 SF cops from my gym who say they have to fight city hall half the time for their ludicrous BS like they don't want cops to have M16's. They kind of shrug their shoulders and continue to do their job and let the pols argue among themselves
Well said !! Such a beautiful city and yet such a haven for White liberal trendiness and some things that are just so queer that they are really QUEER.
bump for later
Ask them for a date?
I grew up in a house with guns. I knew where they were and what would happen to me if I ever picked them up without permission. It wasn't death. It was the inability to sit down for a week!
Think it'd be an affirmative defense in court?
Yeah... me neither. Too bad the Constitution is on our side but the Law isn't....
Truth? Gun banners don’t need no stinkin’ truth!
Bolt action .22. I was 10. S&W .357 when I turned 18. I'm already looking at a couple different rifles for my daughter. She's only 18 months right now, but it pays to plan ahead. She already has a squirt gun. ;-)
That link was a good read.
The Mexican kids are taught at an early age that a weapon is their right of passage.
How many homicides were prosecuted as result of the AIDS vampires infecting people with HIV? Or is this not on the table because its considered assisted suicide?
