Another Handgun Ban
Liberals never care about actually solving a problem. What they want is to have the issue so that they can confiscate more money, limit more rights, and expand the role of government in taking care of us. And, most important, they want to be able to feel good about themselves and show everyone that they care more than you and me.
So, when San Francisco has a murder problem, where do the libs go for a model of how to deal with it? Do they go to one of the many states that have passed "right-to-carry" legislation and have seen falling violent crime rates? Of course not. It doesn't accomplish any of the above-mentioned goals.
What they do is follow the models set by Washington D.C. (murder capital of the U.S.) and England (skyrocketing violent crime) by proposing to ban handguns in the city.
And here is the money quote:
Of course you don't feel the need to own a gun to protect yourself. And even if you did live in such circumstances, you would hire a bodyguard to handle that dirty work for you. And your idea of living in danger is being high-profile and having "gun-owners" dislike you? "I'll call the police", he says smugly. Ha! Let them eat cake!
Why don't you move down to the slums, Chris? Live down there for a few months. By yourself. Where the danger doesn't lie in having people dislike you, but in the fact that the people around you just really don't give a damn about you, and whether you live or die. Then sniff at the rest of us peasants as you tell us to just call the police. Or better yet, look into the eyes of a young single mother living in those conditions and tell her that.

"I don't feel like I need to own a gun to protect myself. Certainly, I am a high-profile elected official and now a lot of gun owners don't like me individually, but if I'm in a situation where I feel threatened, I'll call the police," [San Francisco Supervisor Chris] Daly said.
