Proposition H????

[Jim Noble]

the law was needed to reduce the number of guns in a city plagued by gun violence

Do keep us posted on:

A) Before and after data on the number of guns

B) Before and after data on the number of gunshots seen at SFGH.

PRECISELY!

Proposition H

Sounds suspiciously like "Preparation H". Anyway, this truly conforms to the reputation of the city's polity of being a group of people who are fixated on being shafted in every way possible.

Morons and fools!

It was win-win. If it failed in SF, the gun grabbers are done. If it passed, it awakes a sleeping giant, and doesn't surprise most people.

If it passed statewide, or in someplace like Columbus Ohio, then I'd be more scared.

[ThanhPhero]

Gun violence will likely increase over the next couple of years. That seems to be the norm for such situations. Guns now become more glamorous for gang wannabes just because of the ban.

[untrained skeptic]

More evidence in support of the theory of natural selection.

I think the proper response from the state and federal government is to make sure that San Francisco does not suck up a disporportionate amount of law enforcement funding and let them face the consequences of their decision.

"Sounds suspiciously like "Preparation H"."

That's what they'll need, once the thugs shove their unsurrendered gun barrels up their "minds"

The coming surge in violent crime in SF will be blamed by SF and MSM and the Democrats on the rest of California for not expropriating all the other California citizens.

[river rat]

I'd be willing to forecast an accelerated exodus of businesses and citizens from San Freaksicko..
This will cause the city to slip further down the slope into debauchery, lunacy and unsustainability.

I think the $145 figure was just for the holster.

[alarm rider]

Proving once again that institutional leftism is:

1. Stupid
2. Dangerous
3. Will eventually affect us all in a negative manner. We have to wake up to the enemy within folks, this kind of thing leaves us all weaker.

I like my little snake-eyes double barreled nominally .45Colt but 410 shells fit nicely. Of course the shot spreads out a lot because the front of the cartridge is almost to the front of the barrel. It's a great piece for itty bitty coperheads and cottonmouths and other sorts of snakes, too.

In San Francisco "Preparation H" I would imagine is very much in demand.

[Osage Orange]

I can just see the caravans of Bloods and Crips and the Latino gangs heading North to San Francisco to rob, kill and rape. Nothing to stop them.

No...No....you've got it all wrong.

Just as soon as these boys cross the Frisco city limits...they will be looking for the "Turn Your Guns in Here" signs.....and I'm quite sure will promptly comply.

[2oakes]

Law enforcement personnel and others who require weapons for work are exempt from the measure.

I guess there will be a boom in armed security guards. Find a willing employer, or become one, and write "armed security detail as required and other general duties" into your work contract.

[rattrap]

I think that falls under the "Mad Max" statute.

Cool gun.

[Osage Orange]

I think this is a wonderful teaching moment. The city of San Francisco will serve as an excellent object lesson in the consequences of gun control.

My guess is they will cook the numbers...as best they can...from here on out.

We shall see.......
