The only idiots are you and others on the right attempting to contrive a 'controversy' where none exists.Yet San Francisco has had 35 gun homicides this year so far. Good to see those gun control laws are working.
Idiots......
What are you talking about, what's 'not sensible,' what's 'extreme' – the gun shop's closing is nothing more than a ridiculous temper-tantrum on the part of the owner, having nothing to do with the City's regulatory measures.Law abiding gun owners and hunters should have nothing to fear from sensible gun control measures. I don't want to see the gun stores close in my neighborhood. Do you?
This is not sensible! This is extreme. The gun store like others will just move beyond the city' reach and make more money and deprive SF any tax dollars!

And again: those regulatory measures are consistent with current Second Amendment jurisprudence.
hope they file for unemployment, welfare, ss disability, and food stamps, and medicaid and really soak the system"Our customers shouldn't be treated like they're doing something wrong."
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The only gun store in San Francisco is shuttering for good, saying it can no longer operate in the city's political climate of increased gun control regulations and vocal opposition to its business.
"It's with tremendous sadness and regret that I have to announce we are closing our shop," High Bridge Arms manager Steve Alcairo announced in a Facebook post on Sept. 11. "It has been a long and difficult ride, but a great pleasure to be your last San Francisco gun shop."
Alcairo said the breaking point came this summer when a local politician proposed a law that would require High Bridge Arms to video record every gun sale and submit a weekly report of ammunition sales to the police. If passed, the law would join several local gun control ordinances on the books in a city still scarred by the 1993 murder of eight in a downtown high-rise and the 1978 assassination of Mayor George Moscone and gay rights activist Harvey Milk.
"I'm not doing that to our customers. Enough is enough," Alcairo said. "Buying a gun is a constitutionally protected right. Our customers shouldn't be treated like they're doing something wrong."

I consider NRA extremism the greatest threat to future gun rights. Compromise is not a dirty word - and the NRA needs to bend before it breaks by allowing sensible gun control measures like universal background checks. No sensible person should be against UBC. Joe Scarborough said it best: Extremism From "The Survivalist Wing" Of The NRA "Is The Greatest Danger To Gun Rights".

"The right to bear arms shall not be infringed"
let's hire some legal experts to tell us what that means
They need to shut down the liquor stores as well. Where I grew up there was one on every corner for miles. If it was a wealthy white neighborhood that would never be allowed.Well gosh. I wonder when liquor stores will be closed due to DUI's and needless deaths?
Never. Until it turns into another detroit. Then it will be too late.Since that foolish city happens to be a sanctuary city... When are they going to get sick of illegal aliens killing and maiming real citizens???
Product of hope and change
As opposed to Atlanta, which had 52?Yet San Francisco has had 35 gun homicides this year so far. Good to see those gun control laws are working.
Idiots......
Increase of murders in Atlanta?
Atlanta, gun friendly, half the population of San Francisco and more gun crime.
Gotta love it.
