Gun owners in San Francisco are fighting the ban there, at least through the courts. However, when their legal options expire (I should say if, sorry), do you expect the legal gun owners of that city (soon to become the illegal gunowners, according to the ban) to resist the law with violence? I am well familiar with the 'cold, dead fingers' sentiment, living in Texas, but this would seem to be a good situation to watch, to see if it is all just bluster, or if the attempt to take guns from responsible owners will in fact lead to a gun-fight. Some people might write it off as just fruity San Fran, but there are hundreds of thousands of folks who are anything but liberal who live there. SF is a big place with a lot of owners, so it isn't just like some small suburb or town that runs like a commune or something has passed this law. I suspect there are possibly as many as a quarter to a half a million gun owners who will be affected, either because they live there, work there, or routinely travel through the city. It's no Sebastopol--a very progressive small town in the Sonoma Valley which is an island of far left experimentation.
