It is unbelievably short sighted to think that banning all guns will solve our problems, for the most part the gun laws that we have are adequate if only they were better enforced. How many repeat felons and under age teens own guns? What is the proportion of these people committing crimes compared to normal law abiding citizens? And who are doing these kinds of studies and formulating these kind of statistics? I am a real person in the real world, and thus no scientist and certainly not a politician, and so am not "qualified" to make a statement regarding statistics. However it is for this very same reason that I know beyond any and all shadow of a doubt that 98% of all crimes committed with guns are by individuals who had committed some felony at some point in the past, and even more than that a vast majority of them are repeat offenders. THUS BY LAW THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD ACCESS TO A HANDGUN IN THE FIRST PLACE. The answer is not more laws it is the ADEQUATE enforcement of the laws that we ALREADY have. Someone should tell the NRA to explore this venue of study, because people need to be educated in whats really happening. It is VERY easy to insight fear and make people believe that if all the guns were somehow magically gone we would all be safe . . .but that's just not reality. We MUST never allow even one iota of the great laws which founded this nation to falter–if even one so called “Archaic” or “out dated” law of this great nations Constitution is ever removed, given enough time more will follow.

If I owned a mint-condition M1911 Colt, it could well be worth $10,000 or more. Under Prop H, the State could take it with no attempt at remuneration. How can people in what is supposed to be a "great city" condone this? Moreover, we are told that all this is okay because the Second Amendment is "archiac" and that no other country has such a Right. Yes, most countries do not have anything like the Second Amendment. Most have nothing like the FIRST Amendment, and it is the same age. Has technology made it "archaic" as well? If the fools in San Francisco give up their Rights so easily, thinking it will make them safer, they deserve to fall into a pit of crime.
