Re: san fran gun ban
The handgun is the great equalizer. It enables granma and wifey to fight back. It gives the out of shape office worker an opportunity to defend himself. (you guys get the picture, I won't continue with the examples.) Taking the guns simply gives the criminals a physical advantage as they are generaly used to the "rough and tumble" life anyway. In most cases, they already have the physical advantage without a weapon.<br /><br /> Guns can be manufactured easily enough. Ever heard of zip guns? These would be the next phase of guns used in crimes 1000+ years from now when they "finaly" find and confiscate the majority of guns manufactured legaly.<br /><br /> If you did get rid of all types of guns, you'd be dealling with medievel type wounds like getting hacked to death by a machette. I'll take a bullet hole between the eyes, thank you.<br /><br /> I have a hard time believing that there are more handgun accidents resulting in harm or death than there are cases of victims defending themselves with a handgun.<br /><br /> Were we ever invaded, all those confiscated guns<br />would sure come in handy! <br /><br /> And, most important, it's a constitutional right.
