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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
