SF gets it right
« on: April 13, 2008, 09:46:42 AM »
bout time those looneys up there did somthing right.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/04/10/state/n050438D28.DTL&type=politics

"A ruling by the state Supreme Court has brought an end to San Francisco's attempts to ban handguns in the city.

In a ruling Wednesday, the court unanimously rejected the city's appeal of a lower-court ruling that sharply limited the ability of localities to regulate firearms.

The ruling deals a final blow to Proposition H, an initiative voters passed in November of 2005.

The ordinance would have forbidden San Francisco residents to possess handguns, as well as prohibit the manufacture, sale or distribution of any type of firearms or ammunition in the city.

Only law enforcement officers and others who needed guns for professional purposes would have been exempted.

The National Rifle Association had opposed the measure, suing on behalf of gun owners and dealers a day after the measure passed."

All you gun owners or second amendment rights people really need to send your $35 to the NRA and join.

Ripsnort said in one of those other gun threads- there's been alot lately- that it was a felony to conceal a firearm in your car and you'll (presumably) go to prison if caught, but that's not really true- as long as your gun is legal and you have no warrants, and you weren't brandishing, you'll be cited and released, and will in all liklihood get fined, and that's about it.
 
Dude, you got Alzheimers? I said in MY state, that if you brandish a weapon, licensed or not, it is illegal.  :rolleyes:

Good on the state Supremes there. A bit of a surprise to me frankly with a unanimous vote.

Oh and since the thread seems to be doomed.

Hmm....I wonder if that had any bearing on the remarks Obama made about rural America?  Has he made any remarks directly related to this ruling?  I'll bet his unadulterated, unpolitically expedient, unfiltered views on this would be most enlightening.

The best part of the whole afair was a SF gay group trying to ban the Golden gate bridge because more people die every year jumping off it then due to gun deaths or something like that.

Was pretty darn funny, even if I don't remeber all the details.
