San Francisco Passes More Gun Control to Fix Failures of Gun Control

So called High Capacity Standard Gun Magazines

AmmoLand Gun News

Washington DC - -(Ammoland.com)-  On October 29th 2013, San Francisco supervisors “unanimously” passed a ban on “high capacity” magazines within city limits. This comes on the heels of news that the “strict gun control” already in place in the city is not working.

San Francisco has pursued Chicago-like gun control for years, including the passage of an all-out ban on privately owned handguns in 2005. That ban was struck down by a California court in 2008, but smaller, incremental gun control measures remain on the books and continue to be passed.

Nevertheless, the San Jose Mercury News reports that recent FBI crime figures show violent crime in Oakland, San Francisco, and San Jose increased in 2012–raising the number of homicides to a twenty year high for the Bay Area and showing an increase in homicides for the second year in a row.

In response, San Francisco supervisors passed more gun control. Their “high capacity” magazine ban comes in lieu of the state-wide ban on “assault rifles” that Governor Jerry Brown (D) vetoed on October 11 2013.

      They can pass all the gone control laws but NONE will never work.

      Whaaa?

      Because the people that are doing the shooting know a piece of paper tucked in some bureaucrats office have little to do with stopping from shooting who ever they like.

      The only thing that will stop them is another person carrying what they have. But they know such a person does not exist because that person believes that piece of paper in that bureaucrats office will automatically and magically protect them from any bullets.

      And if that does not work the bureaucrat will try to cast another type of spell. That’s what they get paid to do on guinea pigs.

      i’m tired of the U.S. Government’s fear mongering, they would rather scare their citizen and then make up silly laws that would only make the U.S. citizens feel “protected” but actually does nothing other than for display on a high shelf which criminals will just laugh at and then proceed with their murders, than actually do something about the criminal activities in the rapidly growing urban decay of U.S. cities, not once have the U.S. government actually done something about the root of these crimes, which is really the growing poverty of the U.S. inside a very expensive economy, the cost of living in the U.S. is 3-5 times more than of other developing and developed countries,

      i’m glad i’m in some developed “3rd world country” where i can actually have real freedom —that sounds quite ironic to the average American
