Default San Francisco: When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

Early returns have the handgun ban ahead 59-41.

If its good for Rwanda, it must be good for San Francisco!

You're right, Rwanda and San Francisco are very similar.

And of course everything that's good for good ole San Fran is good for the world.

Jeeze.

I'm not suggesting that genocide is going to occur in san francisco. But it would have been less likely in Rwanda had the populace been armed to defend itself.

On a smaller scale, the idea that citizens of the city will be safer with this law passed is quite silly.

Right, because similar bans have failed so miserably in places like England and Japan.

DC is a miserable example of outlawing guns.

In England, you can be sent to prison for trying to defend yourself with a firearm against an armed intruder in your own house. You might get a longer prison term than the criminal who attacked you- and you might have to pay civil damages as well. Great system.

England has an incredibly high crime and theft rate.
Japan doesn't.

And in both cases it has nothing to do with gun laws.

Don't know what the proposed law says, or how it will be enforced, but is it possible that incidents like the one in Tennessee today might be avoided?
