This is a good first step. Let's hope other cities and states do the same. We have a serious issue with domestic terrorists and the NRA is the enabler.
I don't own a gun and am not a member of NRA. However, events like this are stirring serious consideration of joining the NRA and buying a gun before it's too late.
I became a paid member of the NRA last year for the first time because the left blamed the NRA for a school shooting, which was utterly ridiculous.
Guess I will be renewing my paid NRA membership again this year. The leftists don't understand actions like this one by SF's board only encourage me and others to do so.
No organization has done more to make assault weapons available to every would-be mass shooter in the US. The NRA has stood against nearly every common sense gun law and has cowed Pub legislators and the current Pub president into doing nothing about massacres.
Calling the NRA a "domestic terrorist organization" is a bit over the top.
No mass murderer in our history has used an assault weapon to kill anyone, the only people using true assault weapons to kill people in this country are the police or the federal government.

The Left wants a compliant, passive populace, that is controlled, and dependent. That is the reason they want us totally disarmed.
Survival of the fittest? So, how can I protect myself from ARMED criminals? You are taking away my means of self defense, and the police can't protect you. So now, I am no longer the fittest I can be against armed criminal. Now you've put me and my family at more risk.
If you own a car or truck you own a far more dangerous "killing machine" than my gun and you take it out every day to potentially kill people. Yes, accidentally, but it happens A LOT. My guns have NEVER killed anyone, and most likely never will, so you punish the law abiding instead of the criminal. It makes NO SENSE.
Criminals will get and have guns no matter what you do to the law abiding.
Gun control has never worked because all we've ever done is nibbled around the edges. Why would anyone assume that we're going to leave guns in the hands of criminals? Or the mentally deranged?
The ultimate solution will leave guns in fewer hands than worth talking about. Extremely rare exceptions involving investigatory screening at levels likely higher than for current law-enforcement, which would be tightened as well.
Doing what we've always done will get us what we've always gotten. Have you imagined yourself as a Sandy Hook parent?
Honestly, I find it next to impossible to believe ANY intelligent person still today trusting any and every Joe Schmo out there to have a gun. Nearly every day now we're seeing the tragic result of that ancient and obsolete thought process. It must end.

Exactly, people who think adding more on top of more gun laws will stop mass shootings are being foolish. I do remind them cocaine, heroin, meth... etc are illegal, how’s that working out?
The NRA are small potatoes politically. They don't even crack the top 50 of political donors, yet they Media and Democrats say they have a lot of influence. They don't.
Idiotic statement.
R politicians will refuse to back even popular gun reforms solely based on the position taken by the NRA on any given proposal.

I am much more concerned about my kids driving on roads, and other much more likely threats to their well being. If they stay out of the ghettos, and out of the drug trade the likelihood of being shot is not as good as them being hit by lightning, and winning the lottery at the same time! Yet you believe the Media, and Democrats inflating the risk to an unrealistic level because they want is disarmed and controlled.
There is potential tragedy in everything we do. That is life.

Maybe because criminals will never give up their guns and it will always be very easy to acquire or even make guns. There are almost 400 million privately held guns in the USA and other hundreds of millions more in the hands of LE and the military.
There will always be guns available for criminals. The only question is whether or not they will be available for law-abiding citizens.
