Gun Ban in California?
October 29th, 2005 David King - King's Outdoor World
I recieved this information from the NRA newsletter. This is information that definitely needs to get out as much as possible. Please read below, click on the link, and take action. This is happening November 8th. That is just around the corner!
VISIT NRA-ILA WEBSITE DEDICATED TO DEFEATING PROPOSITION H–SAN FRANCISCO GUN BAN
on November 8, San Francisco voters will go to the polls to vote on Proposition H–a citywide gun ban. If Proposition H passes, it will become the most restrictive gun control law in the nation; even more restrictive than the egregious Washington, D.C., gun ban that NRA-ILA is currently working to overturn in Congress! The ordinance would ban residents from possessing any handgun and they would be forced to turn over their handguns within 90 days. The sale, manufacture, transfer, and distribution of all firearms would be prohibited!
To educate and mobilize Bay Area pro-gun supporters, NRA-ILA unveiled a website dedicated exclusively to exposing the truth about Proposition H. The website– www.StopSanFranban.com –is designed to provide you with one-stop-shopping for the information and tools you will need to ensure Proposition H is defeated on November 8.
Among the many features at www.StopSanFranban.com are: information on the proposed ban; sample letters and tips for identifying and writing letters to the editor of area newspapers; information on the benefits of firearm ownership for self-defense and the ineffectiveness of gun bans in reducing crime; voter registration links; e-mail sign-up; and more.
Please be sure to visit www.StopSanFranban.com and then forward this link to your family, friends, and fellow firearm owners, both inside and outside of San Francisco, to ensure the collective voices of America’s gun owners are heard loudly and clearly in the weeks leading up to, and especially on, November 8! Those of you who don’t live directly in San Francisco, but reside nearby, should visit the site frequently for updates on what you can do locally to ensure this deplorable proposition is defeated.
Please visit www.StopSanFranban.com today to help us prevent San Francisco from becoming the next Washington, D.C.!

Proposition H in San Francisco is basically State-condoned theft.
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.

[…] Bad news for all of us. Yes, this affects all of us. Yesterday voters of San Fransisco approved Proposition H. More about Proposition H can be found on this earlier post. The NRA is challenging with a lawsuit to try and overturn this new ruling. Here is the official reply from the NRA. NRA to File Lawsuit Challenging San Francisco Gun Ban […]

Should have been called preperation H, poor california, I’d hate to live in San francisco now. these perhaps well meaning citizens are going to find out rather quickly that when you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have them! I guess ignorance is bliss, However it won’t make you safer! Better bolt your doors and bar your windows san francisco, the criminals are licking their lips!!

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.
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.
