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 
in the city. A lawsuit will likely succeed in overturning the ordinance 
because it violates state pre-emption of firearm regulation. Such 
measures, however, are generally passed to pressure the legislature to 
enact similar bans statewide.

respond to the questionnaire from the Virginia Citizens Defense League, 
an organization that has been the recent leader in defending the RKBA in 
that state.
