From SAF:
NEWS RELEASE
SAF SAYS SUPERVISOR DALY SHOULD PAY SAN FRANCISCO'S LEGAL BILLS FOR LAWSUIT
BELLEVUE, WA - The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) today suggested
that San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly, author of that city's ballot
measure to ban guns, should pay for the city's defense of that
proposition in court and spare the taxpayers that expense.
"Supervisor Daly cooked up this gun ban measure and now that it is being
challenged in court, he ought to personally cover the legal bills," said
SAF founder Alan M. Gottlieb. "San Francisco taxpayers, many of them gun
owners who will be adversely affected by this ban measure, should not
have to pay for Daly's folly.
"Local news organizations, the San Francisco Police Officers'
Association, Senator Dianne Feinstein and even Mayor Gavin Newsom all
said Proposition H was not going to stand muster under the state
preemption law," Gottlieb noted, "but Daly pushed it anyway. There is no
way that San Francisco taxpayers should pay the legal bills that are
already mounting up."
One day after San Francisco voters approved the measure, it was
challenged in court by SAF, the National Rifle Association, Law
Enforcement Alliance of America, the California Association of Firearm
Retailers and several citizens. A similar ban was successfully
challenged in court 22 years ago by SAF.
"Chris Daly's measure is anti-choice," Gottlieb observed. "The reason
that we've gone to court is to protect the citizens' right to choose
whether they want to have the means to defend themselves against
criminal attack. We believe that passage of Proposition H is not only
contrary to state law, it sends the wrong message to criminals in the
Bay area that they will have a risk-free working environment, where
their victims will be unable to protect themselves, their families and
their homes. If this stands, what other choices will Daly want to take
out of the hands of his constituents? What else will he tell them they
can't do in their own homes?
"We're not saying everyone should have a gun," Gottlieb explained. "Our
lawsuit to stop enactment of this ban is to protect the right of every
San Franciscan to make that choice. If Chris Daly sincerely believes it
is best to deny his constituents the right to choose, then he should
finance the legal battle out of his own pocket."

URGENT FUNDRAISING APPEAL - NEED TO RAISE $29,860.00 BY YEAR END -
PLEASE HELP
Dear Friend of KeepAndBearArms.com:
Our website is experiencing a critical cash flow problem RIGHT NOW.
We have so many urgent needs at the moment. In particular getting caught
up on bills owed by the end of the year.
We are also trying to expand the number of gun owners that visit our
site before the new Congress and many state legislatures go into
session. To do so requires us to place banner ads on other sites and ads
in search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
We plan on hitting the ground running in 2006 with more news,
information, and grassroots action projects to expose and defeat the
enemies of freedom.
Help us send a loud and clear message to the Brady Center, Million Mom
March, Violence Policy Center, and the entire anti-gun rights movement.
BUT, at this time, we need funds. SO, if you can make a year end
ontribution RIGHT NOW, it will help us immensely. We need to raise
$29,860.00 from generous donors to meet obligations by year end.
