Proposition H
The SF handgun ban passed? Are you people crazy?
Obviously, only law-abiding people are going to turn in their handguns. Who does that leave with handguns? The very people you might want to defend yourself against—if only you had a handgun. Even the SF Police Officer's Association thinks this is a stupid idea.
The New York Times article about this includes an amusing quote from Supervisor Chris Daly, who authored the proposition:
Mr. Daly, a self-described far-left progressive, quipped of his critics: "I know I'm crazy, but they're crazier than I am."
It's always a contest between crazies around here. So I guess the answer to my question is, "Yes!" Hopefully the courts are not so crazy.
