The horrific killings in Charleston, S.C., once again raise the question of whether we would be better off with more armed citizens or dramatically fewer. This debate largely has been forgotten by Congress, but the battle rages on in the courts as the National Rifle Association challenges any effort at gun control, including prudent measures such as San Francisco’s safe gun-storage law and California’s efforts to restrict gun-carrying to those who have a particular need and are most likely to be responsible. Resolution to this debate will depend on whether data and concern for public welfare — or mythical visions of gun effectiveness — triumph. |

More anti gun drivel from San Francisco Chronicle. They just don't get that there are evil people in this world and they will hurt people with or without guns. Furthermore, all gun control laws do is restrict the rights of law abiding citizens who are not the problem.
If the government passed the laws that the gun control crowd wants, it will turn 50 million otherwise law abiding citizens into felons because we won't register our guns and we won't turn them in. |

And today a citizen paid the ultimate price i for SFO being a "sanctuary city" in broad daylight on the waterfront. Seems SFO's hoplophia has lethal consequences for everyone except criminals. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
