There's a reason I would never, EVER, live in California. It appears to be full of ignorant intolerant bigots who want to run their neighbor's lives.
Something as simple as a the grand opening of a single gun store in the town of Pacifica, has brought the bigots out of the woodwork; claiming that they don't want those people in their town. Here is some of the reaction:
Some argued that the mere presence of a gun store in Pacifica was of great moral concern...Gunowners are not animals. We are human beings and we have a right to exist."The store is one door down from her business," said Nahass. "It is a concern to her. I know the gun store is there, but can you regulate store hours? It's not easy what we have to do, but we have to do what's best for our neighborhoods." [...]
...he didn't think a gun store should be in a neighborhood shopping center...
Nancy Hall said she had eight letters from other merchants at Eureka Square who were unhappy about the gun store...
Some merchants at Eureka Square have apparently told residents that they are already experiencing a drop off in business because of the gun store, which has not yet even opened....
Speakers voiced their philosophical opposition to guns and their genuine surprise that a gun store had been licensed and accepted without any public discourse....
"I choose not to have guns in my community," said Pete Shoemaker. "That's the kind of community I want to live in." ....
Matthew Hamilton said he would have had second thoughts about moving to Pacifica had there been a gun store in town. "I was very surprised that Pacifica did not have any regulations," he said....
Typical left coast reactionary paranoia.
Perhaps they would be happier if the shopping center forced the closure of the gun shop, and in it's place, opened a clinic for "post election trauma". Or, perhaps a business which facilitates relocation to Canada?
Maybe an abortion clinic would brighten up the neighborhood. Certainly no 'hateful' pro-life comments would be publicized.

But... but but but Ravenwood! You just said animals don't have a right to exist!

"I was very surprised that Pacifica did not have any regulations."
Yeah. What's wrong with you, Pacifica? You're supposed to regulate everything in the city limits, and anticipate everything that someday might be in the city limits.
The perversity of these Californicators.... (shakes head and walks away)

Posted by: Brass at November 21, 2004 3:35 PMCalifornia wants to be the avante garde of everything. It doesn't matter that it's a gun store selling those awful firearm thingy's. What matters is the plebes get to sound like aristocracy, like the people who run from the law during car chases.
There are so many moonbat causes (I was born and lived there most of my life) that any excuse to be "outraged" or "apalled" or "victimized" is reason enough to be publicly vocal. Pacifica is a near suburb of the lefty loon capital of the world: San Francisco. Don't worry though, like a commenter above said, they'll have a nice honest abortion clinic there in it's place in no time. Thank God I'm gone.
I read somewhere today that at least 25% of the population is leaving due to housing costs. And of course they'll be taking their guns with them.

Hmph. Try to stop some one from putting in a strip club and you'll get the "you can't legislate morality" line from the same group.

I'm sad. The owner of the shop is a fantastic man, and I'm proud to give him my business.
