ATTN: Rapists, Burglars & Murderers, San Francisco is Open for Business

The idiots in the Gay Bay voted last night to open their fair(y) city to anyone with a gun who wants to come and take it. How did they do that? By banning the legal sale and possession of handguns and ammunition:

With 100 percent of San Francisco precincts reporting, 58 percent of voters backed the proposed gun ban while 42 percent opposed it.

Measure H prohibits the manufacture and sale of all firearms and ammunition in the city, and make it illegal for residents to keep handguns in their homes or businesses.

Only two other major U.S. cities -- Washington and Chicago -- have implemented such sweeping handgun bans.

Supervisor Chris Daly, who proposed the measure, said the victory showed that "San Francisco voters support sensible gun control."

Citing statistics that show most homicides in the city involve handguns, Daly said "every life that's saved with Proposition H is a big win."

Although law enforcement, security guards and others who require weapons for work are exempt from the measure, current handgun owners would have to surrender their firearms by April.

Hey Mr./Ms Daly, what about the lives that will be lost when innocent citizens are deprived of the ability to defend themselves? Will that be a "big win" for Prop H as well?

Expect a major legal challenge to this one. I don't see how they can possibly prevail in court when they're demanding that citizens surrender their legally owned weapons.

However, Prop H was not the only stupidity to rise to the top in Frisco. They also voted to deny military recruiters access to high schools and colleges. In other words, San Franciscans have rejected any responsibility as citizens of the country.

The military recruitment initiative also won with 60 percent in favor and 40 percent against.

Measure I, dubbed "College Not Combat," opposes the presence of military recruiters at public high schools and colleges. However, it would not ban the armed forces from seeking enlistees at city campuses, since that would put schools at risk of losing federal funding.

Instead, Proposition I encourages city officials and university administrators to exclude recruiters and create scholarships and training programs that would reduce the military's appeal to young adults.

"We now have the moral weight of the city behind us, and it's definitely a valuable asset to have in our corner," said Bob Matthews, a College Not Combat activist, adding that the victory would help put pressure on the government to someday institute an actual ban on campus military recruiting.

Maybe some day soon the San Andreas fault will solve the San Francisco problem for us. We can hope.
