Head... exploding with... misinformation...

SAN FRANCISCO HAS long been a leader for justice, fighting apartheid and advancing same-sex marriage equality. Now, with 87 homicides so far this year – 56 of which involved handguns – it's time to continue this work for justice. We'll have that opportunity at the next election.

Persecuting gays because they're not popular and choose a different lifestyle: BAD

Persecuting gun owners because they're not popular and choose not to be victims of violence: GOOD

Justice my arse. :rolleyes:
More than 20 years ago, the District of Columbia enacted a similar handgun ban and is on its way to a 20-year low of homicides.

Holy crap, is this guy really using DC as a shining example of gun control success? Is this some kind of bad joke? He wants SF to be more like the murder capital of the USA? :scrutiny:
 
“I’ll take ‘Reaping what you sow’ for $40, Alex.â€

“This city became known as the ‘Washington DC of the West’ ten years after it banned firearms in the early twenty-first century when its murder rate soared thereafter.â€

“What was San Francisco?â€

“That is correct. With its citizens disarmed and at the mercy of both criminals and government, they were truly in doublejeopardy.â€
 
Let SF ban handguns. The murder rate will increase and we'll be rid of some of 'em.
 
typical SF claptrap,I should know

I live here.

life under the dictatorship of the dems is interesting and fustrating as heck.
 
I've read a good deal of the Miller decision at one time or another, and it looked to me like the court pretty much affirmed the individual right to arms, although seeming to hedge this to positely include only those weapons applicable to militia use. This implies that the individual has a protected right to the sort of armament one would expect to find attached to an infantryman. The sad part about Miller was that no one was there to point out to the court that sawn-offs were used during WWI, appearantly to such great effect that they were banned for use in WW2.

Paraphrasing: It's a good skill to have.
 
I'm going to post the exact same thing I did over on calguns-

You know, that article was so badly written and so full of half-truths and outright disinformation, that I'm inclined to believe it's the equivalent of a print ‘troll’ post.

Seriously, that was so bad that it has to have been written just to stir up interest.

It can’t be serious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I'm with Kace; leave the homophobia at home, kids. It's insulting and you're just playing into the typical stereotype of the gunowner. And yes I *do* live here.

Get the picture?
 
You have got to love the "on it's way to a 20 year low"

It's kindof like I am "on my way to being a billionaire, current trends notwithstanding."

They chose their words very carefully, since they couldn't claim a 20 year low. Even then, it would be meaningless unless compared to murder rates BEFORE the gun ban.
 
Got about a third of the way through that article before my eyes glazed over. What a steaming load of tripe. No wait, I like tripe, but that article just repeated the same old hackneyed rubbish the dems have been spewing for ages. :barf:
 
And if you gooooooooo,

To Sannnn FrannnnCiscooo,

Make sure you bear,

Some Mithril underwear.

Like banning handguns will make S.F. a safe, utopia. Hah! What are these people smoking?
 
Nice letter, Slurpy. Here's hoping they don't round-file it...

Don't hold your breath.

If you banned guns 20 years ago. . . . and now crow that you're on your way to a "20-year low" . . . . is that not substantially the same as the statement below?

"We banned guns 20 years ago, and now, 20 years later, we've got murders reduced so much that we're almost as safe as we were before we banned guns--but not quite."

Wow. . . they did something to reduce murder which demonstrably did not reduce murder and could very well have increased it, but after 20 years of throwing decent people in prison, they've managed to claw their way back to near their old murder rate--but their city is STILL more dangerous than it was before the ban.
And that's not the argument AGAINST it, folks, that's the argument for why the rest of us should follow suit RIGHT NOW!

:scrutiny:
 
On the other hand, I think it's AWESOME that San Francisco has discontinued the practice of Apartheid.
 
Well I havent received a response, and I would not bet on it being published, unless they wanted to troll their own readers and get lots of angry letters. I would troll my own readers all the time if I owned a newspaper, which is probably one of the reasons I dont lol lynched.

The thing that really saddens me is that these ignoramouses actually have positions of signficant authority in the local Democratic party. These idiots are responsible for choosing reasonable paths and making carefully crafted compromises that will enable them to win elections and pass useful legislation. So why do they sound like a bunch of freshman year Berkeley revolutionaries? You would think that maturity would be a requirement to safely bear such responsibility.

Another thing, I was reading the transcript of the Scopes "monkey" trial and I feel exactly like Darrow did talking to the prosecutor/preacher. The truth is in front of them screaming at the top of its lungs and setting off signal flares, but these guys just cant see it no matter how you turn their head for them. Its frustrating as hell. Its also sad that "progressives" have gone insane and ended up on the lunatic fringe in this country (world).
 
My e mail to the editor:


Dear Editor,

I just read the article under the heading "Opinion" written by Bill Barnes and Burke Strunsky.
I am just so grateful that the header did not say "Truth" because the drivel that Barnes and Strunsky have written is so woefully incorrect, disingenuous and outright false. The most charitable thing I could say about the pap that they hold to is that it is so childish in its naive conclusions that it actually caused me to laugh out loud.

One wonders what the price of tea would be as we broke at midday to toast the King had our founders and the patriots of the Revolution been disarmed in the face of England. I hope you do see that the law is passed to outlaw all firearms in your fair city. It will certainly make the rest of the country much safer for the rest of us as all the criminals will move to SanFrancisco.
