Their citizens will get what they deserve.
So now, only 3 classes of citizens have the ability to carry a gun.
Cops, security guards, and criminals.
Serving your country is not a bad thing, unless you are a liberal I guess.

Damned straight about that! Thats just what I was going to say.
"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!"

What the hell is wrong with the great USA? We are giving up rights and fredoms so fast its beyond conception.
I saw where some senatorial turd is pushing to have ALL US citizens medical records on a computer, so when the supposed bird flu strikes, the feds will know who, where, and when, and can the order quarantines quickly.

I am ALL for disease prevention, but computerized records...NO

I never have felt comfortable with the term "Homeland", too  much like der fatherland, and with the way those fatcats in power are just lying to us, and bending us over, what is next?

So now they want to stop all of the responsible people from owning hand guns. I can kind of understand where they are coming from. But they should not have banned them, they should have put stricter laws on them. Like making the process to own a hand gun more extensive.
Its like prohabition all over again. When guns are outlawed gun crimes will most likely go up. because the city would have no way of knowing who the gun is registered to.

Just remember.. "THEY" weren't just the people pushing the issue on the ballot, it was voted in by a majority of citizens who bothered to participate in the process and go vote.

Keep that in mind when you get older. And the rest of us who are voting age, too.

Point of order:   This "law" was passed by a municipalily of a State, not the federal government who has the only authority to regulate firearms.  This "law" will be taken to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and eventually to the US Supreme Court (which will decline to hear it of course).  It is very likely that the enforcement of this law will be prohibited until a REAL judicial decision has been made.

The law also only applies to the (very small) city limits of the City of San Francisco (so the Oakland Raiders wont loose their gats!).  Its a stupid law that violates both the California and the US Constitution - but not the second amendment. It violates the federal preemption power in that a state is trying to exercise power that only the federal government may exercise.  Arguing 2nd amendment is a loosing case - but the federal courts wont like the state crossing the line much....  it will be interesting to see where this goes.  I'll be providing nearly free legal representation to any San Francisco resident charged under this "law"....

  I havn't read the law yet, however, if it bans the right of the people to bear arms... then it does violate the 2nd ammendement.  And in October of 2004, the Justice Department released a 96 page document stating that the 2nd ammendment is indeed a right of the individual... not of the state or the federal government.  So San Fran is guilty on consitutional grounds as well as federal grounds.

they are only banning hand guns, not all guns.

Lets not forget the part where they are pushing schools to not allow military recruiters on campus.

Its a common misconception that the "right to keep and bear arms" can not be restricted or abbridged in any way.  The US Supreme Court has consistantly held that reasonable intereferences to the right to firearms by the government based on a valid public policy are permissible.

Felons can not have any guns.  Neither can those convicted of domestic violence. Neither can someone who is judicially determined to be mentally incompetent.  

The right to restrict firearms is a valid power of the government. HOW and WHY the restriction is enacted is the pass or fail of the legislation.  Thats why its not the 2nd Amendment that is violated (not guilty - guilt only applies in criminal proceedings).  

But no one wants to hear what I have to say since I probably dont know anything anyway  :-#

In refrence to the article....Blah Blah Blah....I used to think, "Who needed a fully automatic AK 47?"  I used to think that some of those who wanted them were probally nut jobs.  Well, there are nut jobs everywhere lets face it, but they shouldnt be the reason to restrict responsible people.  Should we ban cars?  They kill more people than guns do here in the United States. And we all know how crazy California Drivers are, maybe they should focus on more strict traffic laws and outlaw SUVs.   Though someone should ban this guy from all guns. http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm?g=3d131 ... 610&f=copy
