So they aren't that stupid.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Everybody knew it would happen. IIRC even the SF city fathers knew this and tried to 'make a statement'.

Well they've made their statement. They're MORONS. [No offense to SF-based APS members, I am 99.9% sure none of you have anything to do with that.]

Well, yeah, sure, but it kept a lot of San Francisco tax dollars from being wasted on non-law suit stuff.

amazing amount of pro gun sentiment in the comments section too.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Too bad the city didn't spend the money on gun safety classes for their schools instead.  They could have had something to show for their money at the end of the day.

The appeals judges also refused San Francisco's request to allow enforcement of Prop. H's ban on the manufacture or sale of rifles and shotguns, saying the city must first rewrite the measure to narrow its scope.

Which appears to say that the court believes the SF moonbats can legitimately ban the sale or manufacture of guns in SF as well as ban the sale of ammunition if they rewrite the law.

It's a wonderment to me how those people make it thru the day without being scared to death of their own shadows.

Not possible. It's San Francisco. The handwringing liberals have raised their children to burst into tears at the sight of any firearm (or even a uniformed solider) and their parents would then sue for emotional trauma and the cost of ritalin and other drugs to make the kid back into a proper zombie.

If there was another 1906-level quake, the death rate among the helpless, whining utopian leftists there would be horrendous, because they can't do a damned thing for themselves and would be completely at the mercy of the looters.
