San Franciscans Vote To Ban Handguns: San Francisco residents voted to
ban the sale and possession of handguns and ammunition even after the
police union opposed the idea, saying the law wouldn't help fight crime

measures, however, are generally passed to pressure the legislature to
enact similar bans statewide.

an organization that has been the recent leader in defending the RKBA in
that state.
