You also give your name and address when you buy a car at an auto dealership, and they turn the info over to the state govt. when you get your tags and license plate. It's no big deal when you're buying a car, why is it a big deal when you're purchasing a potentially lethal weapon?

Hell, if you apply for a bank account or a credit card, they give the information to the Feds.

They already have to get the same information for the background check anyway. And what gun shop doesnt have cameras watching already. The only thing new AT ALL is sending that information weekly (as simple as an accounting export, takes less than a minute) and retaining the video 5 years. A few grand in storage upgrades, if they want to be thorough, less if not.

But I'm sure thats why they are closing up and not because they are trying to sell guns to people who mostly dont want them.

Owning a car is not a Contitutional Right that shall not be infringed.

Suppose your local government made you register your social media accounts. Then monitored and screened your musing for possible infractions of social "norms". I guess you'd be ok with that?

They're not saying that San Franciscans can't own guns. THAT would be a violation of their Constitutional rights.

"regulate" is another word for "infringe".

I agree with him. Why don't you ask me what my experience with firearms is.

4 years in the Army.

I don't have a problem with what they are doing because that's what the vast majority of their population wants. If it were in an area where the vast majority of the population were against it, I wouldn't be in favor of it.

What they're doing isn't infringing on any rights. They aren't saying that the citizens of San Francisco can't own firearms. You can always go outside of the city to get them.

For everyone that is defending the mayor and what he's done... you're defending a policy that violates Federal law.
quote:


No such rule or regulation prescribed [by the Attorney General] after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established. Nothing in this section expands or restricts the Secretary's authority to inquire into the disposition of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation.



So, congrats on defending an illegal action and not knowing what you're talking about.

I don't care what they do. I don't live in San Francisco. I did live in Cali for like 6 months. I guarantee you that the vast majority of San Franciscans, including an ex of mine who lives there, has zero problem with it.

1. So on your premise gay marriage should be illegal then.

2. The laws are clearly infringing on people's abilities to get firearms as evident by there is not one firearms store in SF.

Research Illiinois State / Washington DC / Maryland gun laws being over turned by Federal Judges for being too restrictive.

It doesn't matter what the vast majority of idiots want. It's a violation of Federal Law.

Probably has more to do with capitalism than Gun Laws. Lack of clientele base I'd imagine. Also a lack of gun stores is not evidence of any infringing of rights.

Gay marriage would be voted in, overwhelmingly, in San Fran... and in most major cities.

The city of San Francisco isn't that large. Go elsewhere in the Bay Area to get them. BART goes well outside of San Francisco proper.
