48. Whatever....
I supose you think it should be ok to sue dodge because some drunk was driving one and hit and killed someone? No manufacturer should be held liable for the actions of a 3rd party who is criminaly misusing thier product. If it is a legitimate issue as with a defective product then lawsuits can go on, the only lawsuits that the bill stopped were the BS ones, ones where people were suing the maker and distributer for the criminal misuse of a legal and massivly regulated product.

Now onto this whole SF gun ban.

It won't last because of a state preemption law on firearms laws. It will get tossed again just like in the 60's. Now this whole thing is just a waste of tax payer money.

Second, this law only holds for RESIDENTS, anyone with a Kali CCW permit can carry a gun in SF as long as they are not a resident of SF.

Third, since when has any criminal not done something because it is illegal to do so. This is not going to help reduce crime, if anything it gives criminals an "open" city to go at it in.

Regardless of ones views on guns and the second amendment this is bad law as it strips away from people a very effective tool with which to defend thier lives and thier loved ones. If you've never had to pull/use a gun in self defense I wouldn't expect you to understand where I'm comgin from. If you have, then you know where I'm comming from.
