Editor:
Colin Bosio-Cady’s editorial opposing the proposed city ban on
handguns indulges in some hyperbole. “The legislation, as written, allows handgun owners 90 days from the implementation of the law to turn in their guns to the police without legal repercussion. After the 90 day period passes
and the city realizes that they have not collected a fraction of the
weapons that are in the City, what are they going to do? Does the SFPD intend tosearch door to door throughout the city?”
The answer: of course not. Instead, in the course of performing their day-to-day duties, the police will be able to confiscate every handgun they encounter, which seems like a good thing to me. The fewer guns there are in circulation in the city the better off we’ll all be.
