High Bridge Arms gun shop refused to handover customer information to police.

Over the weekend, San Francisco will lose its last gun store: High Bridge Arms.
Why? The city has mandated that gun shops hand over information about its customers to the cops.
“Just the idea of giving that information willingly to the police department, for no real reason, seemed very unreasonable to me.” says Steven Alcairo, the general manager of High Bridge Arms. Alcairo notes that the store already complies with all federal and state reporting requirements.
Mark Farrell, a member of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, was behind the local ordinance. The ordinance places new requirements on gun shops like High Bridge Arms, such as videotaping everything that happens in their stores and providing the San Francisco Police Department with weekly updates on customers and purchases.
“I would never introduce legislation to hurt a small business in our city,” Farrell told the local NBC affiliate. “However, if a gun store in particular wants to close as a result of it, so be it.”
High Bridge Arms’ website says the shop was opened in 1952 by the renowned Olympic shooter Bob Chow. It was later bought by Andy Takahashi in the late 1980s. It was Takahashi who made the decision to close the doors.
“You know, I think I would like it if San Franciscans would just kinda take a look at this,” says Alcario. “We decriminalized medical marijuana, we pioneered equal rights. But in the same town you’re gearing laws specifically to make it hard on me,”
The only real option for freedom loving Americans, especially productive ones, opt out until this current insanity falls apart.
Good for the courage, and hit to the checkbook/financial security, of this owner.
So many impediments to freedom, and entering business, with more going up everyday.
It may appear that the Illuminati/Rockefellers/Bilderburgs are winning, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Send love to your neighbors, garner a heart full of love and acceptance for all – including the evil ones – and hold on. Light is headed our way IF you choose to look for it.
ps- Admin, I was reading some info produced by what most would call “crazy” “new agers” and you were directly quoted with full attributes to your writing, article and this site. Those references confirmed my current path is the right one.
I pray for all to find the truth and follow the light. Peace all.
The arrogance of Mark Farrell is something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!John

YOU IDIOT, YOU DID JUST HURT A SMALL BUSINESS. MAY YOUR SECURITY FAIL TO PREVENT YOUR RISKS FROM BECOMING REALITIES.
This should make San Francisco a very safe and peaceful city.
Or so I’ve been told.
I love SF but this shit is over the top. Good for the shop owner to give the city a giant FUCK U!
The question is Why did San Francisco’s last gun shop close the doors?
Answer is………..Fucked Up Democratic Politics, it’s that simple. You wanna keep your guns, don’t vote for gun grabbing Democrats. Capiche?
I hope Americans wake to the reality of evil M brotherhood Satanic Puppet O.How he drops arms to terrorists, now bringing two hundred thousand of military age Muslims from Syria to the US.The latest from insane Hussein,he releases thousands of Mex illegals from prison onto US streets.Stick in the eye to America.Stay and keep right to bear arms.I like Christian Putin more everyday!

Crime sprees on the streets create a climate of fear among the citizens which suits Obama’s purposes rather handily.
People who are afraid allow things to be done that people who aren’t won’t.
