Speaking of California, Jeff Soyer has some great news.
The San Francisco gun ban is dead!
A San Francisco judge struck it down. As Jeff points out, not all liberals want to disarm the public:
My purpose in showing this thread is to point out that not all liberals or Democrats are anti-gun or gun ownership. As blogger Pro-Gun Progressive demonstrates, even such lefties as Josh Marshall and Kos seem to support, or at least aren’t against gun ownership.
I really think Democrats are missing the boat (and losing many elections) by beating their chests everytime one of our rights are threatened — except when it’s our right to bear arms. Trying to hide your real intentions behind labels such as “sensible gun control” and “narrow restrictions” and “common sense regulations” isn’t going to cut it with gun owners anymore than trying to throttle the 1st Amendment cuts it with anyone in the media.
He’s right. While I know this is old-fashioned, I’ve never been able to understand what is “liberal” about taking away the ability of people to defend themselves. Guns are tools, and they should be as non-partisan as cameras.
Be sure to read Jeff’s entire post.

Fixed it. Thanks!
This is why I think rhetoric is important. While a lot of liberals/Dems, like conservatives/Reps, and even, I’m sad to say, some libertarians, are against many of the things they claim to hold near and dear to their heart, as long as their respective bibles still say high-minded things, a few people will actually believe them. That’s why having good rhetoric is better than having no rhetoric at all, other things equal.
[…] San Francisco they want to disarm everyone, except the home invaders will pay about as much attention to such laws as homicidal maniacs like […]
