"Baghdad by the Bay" is soon going to resemble Fullajah.
Yet another reason I am glad I do not live in the homosexual capital of America, and Kaliforniastan. Yet another reason I WILL NEVER live in both. It is bad enough here in the Peoples Republic of Soviet WA State, but I only have three more years on my sentence of living here, and we are moving to Wyoming. The city of puke continues to puke.
Uhhh, unless the gang bangers from down south drive them up at a double premium and make a killing, no pun intended. What a bunch of maroons, might as well ban door locks so as not to inconvenience the perps either.
Would they be required to turn in their guns, or would they have the option of housing them outside the city or selling them? And, for those who turn them in, will they be compensated?
They might as well as just open up their wallets as they go and leave their doors unlocked with 'welcome, please don't mess things up too much' on their doors.
I can guarantee you'll get *none* of the handguns from *any* of the criminals and you will only see homicides rise.
How can a guarantee this? Because it has happened EVERY OTHER PLACE that has implemented gun confiscation.
But this isn't about fighting crime, is it?
It really did wonders in DC when Guns were banned there.
It has worked so well in every other city that has tried it.
NOT!
Even cops could not carry weapons off duty, nor retired cops.
One can only surmise that the knaves promoting this insanity want to see stuff happening like in France. They can't really believe that this will make SF safer. They can't believe this. No one could be that deluded.
Go for it, it's worked so well for Australia, UK, and Wash., D.C. Glad I don't live there.
"Chris Daly, San Francisco supervisor: "If we can get handguns, some of the handguns out of the hands of some of the criminals, then we'll make a small dent in some of the homicides and that is the intent of this legislation.""
Chris Daly is obviously a complete moron, or a liar. Criminals by definition do not follow laws. This legilation obviously does not have the power to provide the result he's claiming it is intended to provide.
I've found a lot of ballot initiatives to be VERY DECEPTIVE in their wordings.
You get guns out of the hands of the criminals by confiscating them from the law abiding. Makes perfect sense. If you are a liberal. Then houses cannot be expected to have guns and people in them who might shoot those guns at "home invaders" and such.
Well, murderers and rapists and burglars just have cultural differences that must be respected.
Folks can't just go around committing crimes like self defense.
To be a liberal one must believe that the people are such criminals as to not be trusted with firearms but honest enough to turn them in if demanded to do so.
To be a liberal one must believe that there is such violence from firearms as to demand their banning but anyone who wants a firearm for defense against such violence is just being paranoid.
NOT!
Maybe they should ban murder, rape, burglery, robbery and jaywalking while they're at it.
This is all for show, as far as I can tell. State law forbids such a local ordinance.
This sentence is incorrect.
Hunters Point is plagued with violent criminals, not "violence".
The writer makes it sound as if "violence" is some abstract reality that exists on its own, without any human involvement.
The writer is an idiot, or worse, a propagandist.
Guns are bad and dangerous and lead to death...
But this kind of behaviour...
...is safe, healthy, and does not lead to death of the body as well as the spirit?
I am so confused!
I need to find my way back thru the looking glass...this worlds is way too warped for me!
I know! I know! We can just pass a law making illegal to kill other people and solve the whole problem!
What a pathetic idiot if he believes that making guns llegal in SF will stop CRIMINALS from using them.
But, then, if you are can be thrown in prison for a single shot .22, why not own a machine gun?
