But to show your unlimited ignorance, San Francisco voted to BAN all handguns from within city limits, along with draconian restrictions on possession and use of rifles and ammunition. That ban was challenged in court and declared “UNCONSTITUTIONAL”.

Bzzzzt. Wrong.

SAN FRANCISCO - A state trial judge sided Monday with the National Rifle Association in overturning a voter-approved city ordinance that banned handgun possession and firearm sales in San Francisco.

Measure H was placed on the November ballot by the San Francisco County Board of Supervisors, who were frustrated by an alarmingly high number of gun-related homicides in the city of 750,000. The NRA sued a day after 58 percent of voters approved the law.

In siding with the gun owners, San Francisco County Superior Court Judge James Warren said a local government cannot ban weapons because the California Legislature allows their sale and possession.

Troll. Gadfly. Slave. Serf.

Bow to your masters. Just don’t make me bow to the same. People like you are why I have been losing my God-given rights for a lifetime.

Chattal. Vassal. Peon.
