Most of the Country was up-in-arms about the Supreme's decision regarding eminent domain last session. It was seen as allowing local governments to "reach" and "grab" beyond all reason for the benefit of private business development. This SF ordinance seems to me to be a sort of eminent domain grab as well. Sure, we all feel in the seat of our pants the prospective result for residents if they have to turn in guns; however, what about lawful businesses such as gun stores, gunsmiths, etc. who now are having their business stripped from them with no just cause. Policemen will have to leave town just to buy firearms, ammunition, etc. How utterly ignorant on so many levels. How utterly devastating to so many family-run businesses who have legally and safely plied their trade for decades and now have to close their shops. It's not possible for me to describe the utter dismay that H engenders in me. The fact is that H will not even result in a "zero-sum" game. It will destroy more than it will ever cure--all to salve some Haight-Ashbury hashheads. Fie on you, pox on your choice.
