There are so many flaws in this it's hard to know where to begin. a) Outlaw handguns and perps will carry shotguns. Shotguns are more lethal and will produce more fatalities. b) I'm guessing homicides are already illegal. So since the people in question already like to break the law, what makes anyone think perps will obey a handgun ban? c) As nuts as San Franciscans already are, if you outlaw the civilized folk, it'll make the perps more aggressive. d) Bad law made by bad politicians.

Stupid liberals. How about pushing for the aggressive enforcement of the death penalty against those who commit murder instead of taking it out on the victims by disarming them?

This isn't surprising news. I mean, who would've thought that San Fran would have so many homocides. It's not as if they are pursuing a lifestyle which leads to longevity anyway.

Now, by banning legal firearms ownership, they will see an even faster rate increase in gun crimes. Heck, in 5 years, SF may be a ghost town - and can then be repopulated by normal people.

Another good reason not to visit San Francisco.

Up to this point?

Who does he think he's kidding.

Mr. Daly. It's been tried. Look at D.C. It didn't work there. And it won't work in Frisco either.

Expect Frisco's tourist industry to take a hit soon.

I agree with what you're saying except "a) Outlaw handguns and perps will carry shotguns". I think the perps will continue carrying/using handguns. They will get them in other cities or on the black mkt. in San Fran. Shotguns are too hard to conceal.

...Doofus Alert!...Oh, sure...the criminals will just lay down their guns because there's a ban on them...I'd be crying if I wasn't laughing!

Wait a minute. I thought Frisco had a handgun ban already. I know they have "strong gun control". Someone I know from Frisco (he hates the word Frisco - which is why I use it at every opportunity) wanted to buy a handgun, but kept complaining he couldn't. He had to move to Oregon before he could buy one, and then started complaining that he didn't need it anymore. Sometimes it's fun to watch the liberal to conservative learning curve.

My point is: if "gun control" in Frisco isn't working, why do they think more "gun control" will?

And it doesn't matter to the criminals one whit what they pass in Frisco. OakTown is still just a bridge (well, two bridges and an island) away. Cutting the Emperor Norton Bridge (Bay Bridge to the uneducated) might lower crime in Frisco, but I doubt it. I can guarantee, though, it will be at least as effective as any new loony "gun control" scheme.

First they rejected God and embraced the rleigion of the
ungodly Sodomite -then they wonder why immorality has so
infected their city turned slum.Their knowledge is ever increasing -but still they fail to find wisdom -fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom.when they Repent and seek
again God's face the rest of it will straighten out.

So to follow in the footsteps of England and Australia, we we'll propose a plan not to work here.

[MamaTexan]

Frustrated by a 28 percent increase in homicides during the past year

Hummm, wonder if it has anything to do with illegals wandering across the border at every opportunity?

The proposal will appear on the municipal ballot in November and would bar residents from keeping handguns in their homes or businesses.

(sniff, sniff) Methinks I detect a whiff of incoming lawsuit.

Curious that courts have found cops are NOT legally liable to protect us, but the political whores feel justified in trying to deny us our inalienable right to protect ourselves.
