These liberal politicians with their infinite knowledge of firearms really have their finger on the pulse of the issue. I'm sure that SF residents feel safer already.

Specifically, the new law bans Winchester Black Talons. This is interesting if for only the fact that Winchester hasn’t made Black Talon ammunition for two decades.

San Francisco's Black Talon Ban Comes a Little Too Late
Black talon ammunition hasn't been produced since the early 90's, San Francisco is a little late to the party. I feel safer already now that a specific type of ammo is banned that is not made though the same ammo with a different name is legal. Just more people who know nothing about guns telling us what we can and can't own.

I'd like to know what we pay these guys and how much actual time they wasted crafting this. This way we could put a dollar amount on it.

SF. You're not exactly dealing with the sharpest knives in the drawer here, folks. At least they are good for entertainment value.

Most Americans won't know that when they read about it.
They will thank their local government for watching out for them instead.

Maybe that's the point of it all...perception vs reality.

So people are getting angry over something that will have little impact, typical

I get upset about how many laws and rules these legislators make for no reason. San Francisco has paid thousands in attorney fees to the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment groups for their over reach on guns. The only people making out are the pro 2nd amendment attorneys.

They interviewed the police chief..here's his reasoning on this..there was an incident in 1993 and they don't want it to happen again. Are they combing their history books for justification now ?

San Francisco gun control proposals targeting ammo sure to be target of lawsuits | Melissa Griffin | Local | San Francisco Examiner
“July 1, 1993, Gian Luigi [Ferri] used a TEC-9 loaded with a mix of standard and Black Talon ammunition to carry out a deadly assault at 101 California Street in San Francisco, leaving eight people dead and six wounded.”
..
In case you don’t know which bullets are similar to the Black Talon or which ones are designated for police and military, the Police Department is supposed to set up a public list so you can be sure your ammunition stash won’t land you in jail for six months or get you slapped with a $1,000 fine.

But here’s the kicker: If something is not on the Police Department’s public list, it doesn’t mean you’re safe. The law specifically allows for criminal prosecution of people who possess banned bullets even if the ammo is not on the list.

All guns should be banned. Only the state should own firearms. The state is the Father of its people.
