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 |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
