I think if you are on the dole you should have less rights.

For instance, you should not have guns, TVs, microwaves or be able to own gold.

Beans and rice is all ya get. ya lazy bastadge.

California is a joke and San Francisco is the punchline. Gavin Newsome is the court jester. Hey Gavin, banged any more of your staff’s wives?

Newsom really wants to throw all the folks in public housing into jail. He doesn’t trust any of them!

And a law against guns is an easy way to do just that.

I hope the NRA cleans San Francisco’s mayor Gavin Newsom’s clock. I can’t think of a more arrogant butt-hole, or U.S. city to have it coming to.

can somebody please explain to me how tax payers money is justify being used to protect a government agency against the citizens that pay those taxes .

Sweet. The more the failed politicians scream that the bad guys already have too many guns the more they reveal that their Nazi inspired gun laws not only have completely failed, but have done so in a spectacularly inequitable way, making victims out of even their most favored class of citizens. The cockroaches are scurrying, and even in their flight they are themselves illuminating the unsoundness of their ideology and the manifest unjustness of it.

I disagree with Ed that the negative effects of unsound Supreme picks will last 25 years. The bodies might be around that long, but the consequences always outlive the scoundrels. As we see here, we are celebrating the beginning of the recovery of many decades of wrong-mindedness, and we are not out of the woods yet.

So no temper-tantrums for me. I’ll vote McCain, and plan on being fully engaged in holding his feet to the fire. No Hillarys, no Harriets, and no stooges.

3 cheers for the NRA. This is the worst kind of big government intrusion – shock horror! It’s San Francisco!

The year San Francisco outlawed hand guns there had been 70 or so homicides in the city. The ban was passed for the “protection” of the citizens. Let me laugh and then puke. A city that promotes and glorifies a lifestyle that kills hundreds every year from aids is all of a sudden worried about a few murders?

SanFrancisco. Savage was ripping the mayor and Pelosi
a good one yesterday over the triple homicide by a
illegal alien gang member.

No comment from Geraldo ( The grinning idiot) on this one.

A caller I heard on CSPAN Thursday said that he had done a study and had found a direct correlation between high taxes,fees, user fees and gun bans. The higher a state’s or locallty’s taxes, etc., the more gun bans and the more stringent the enforcement. I suppose it could be called an increased fear of the citizens by a more entrenched beauracracy.

Ed and Jazz

The problem is if the city takes federal money. The idea behind the “Katrina Legislation” is that taxpayer dollars cannot be used to deny 2A rights.

Get the Pink Pistols in on this. Seriously, while women are probably the best group to assert their right to armed self-defense, homosexuals are probably the second best. MadisonConservative on June 28, 2008 at 9:48 AM

The Pink Pistols are already on board. So are SAF and CCKBA.

I should need to get an NRA membership along with my CCL in the state of Ohio. knob on June 28, 2008 at 10:35 AM

Look at joining the Buckeye Firearms Association. They are a great group.

bayam on June 28, 2008 at 1:28 PM Newsflash.... THE THUGS ALREADY HAVE GUNS!!! HELLO? THE CRIME RATE ISN'T AS HIGH AS IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE USING SLING SHOTS AND JAVELINS!! BTW, if they have the guns legally, then what fear is there of "being busted"? If they have the guns illegally, or use legal guns illegally, THEY DESERVE TO BE BUSTED!!!

Sounds like a plan to let the gangsters kill each other off.

If I were a police officer, I don’t think I’d want to respond to a call at one of these buildings when you know the thugs can have weapons with no fear of getting busted. This can’t be good news for the SFPD.

“Is there anyone out there who really believes that we need more guns in public housing?”

hey Newsome why don’t you go and live in the projects for a month or 2 with no police protection and not body guards and then tell me you don’t need a gun to protect yourself .

way to go NRA I am a third generation SF native and its about time somebody takes the fight to these liberal fascist city losers.

One thing which kills me is the indignation of the Left!

As if the ruling hadn’t been the opposite, there wouldn’t have been millions of suits filed already to further the scope of gun bans, anti-gun legislation or outright confiscation.

Gotta love lefty logic: We can’t more guns in there, there are too many already so we need to keep our ban…classic!

What about the rights of the thugs and criminals?

How clueless can one get and still remain in office? (That’s a trick question for anyone who doesn’t know San Francisco.)

I can only imagine what Gavin Newsom is thinking now.

Remember this bumper sticker? When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns
Never understood whether it was pro or con. You could look at it from either side.

Don’t worry, soon it’ll break off and fall into the ocean. Somebody said on H.A. the other day “C’mon San Andreas! Do your job!”

“The DC gun ban reflected the limits of states and cities for general gun ownership restrictions, but a court could easily conclude that the government has more expansive rights on public housing. The city owns the housing and rents it to the tenants.”

I’m going to take a leap and say this isn’t city owned, but one of the many Housing Authorities under the auspices of HUD. The city, then, wouldn’t own the property or have much say in it, than any other privately owned property, except that there is one or two city officials on the Board of Directors.

If so, then we are back to the something more akin to the DC gun ban on who is depriving citizens of their basic 2nd amendment rights, than fighting city hall.
