There's no shortage of anti-gun mayors in California, but the pro-gun mayors don't get a lot of attention. That's why I was pleased to hear the mayor of Daly City, California, recently say there's no reason to ban gun shows from the Cow Palace in Daly City.
Mayor Maggie Gomez says that criminals will do whatever it takes to get a gun, and that "people who abide by the law shouldn't be punished as a result of someone's criminal activity."
Compare that attitude with that of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who has lied about "sting operations" from San Francisco police arresting people in the Cow Palace parking lot (it hasn't happened) and his recent signing of gun-control laws that mean residents of San Francisco are virtually unable to use a firearm to defend themselves, even in their own homes.
Some mayors still have the courage to exhibit common sense, even when it goes against the politically correct opinion of "any gun-control law is a good law."
I applaud Mayor Gomez for her stance on gun shows - though you're not likely to hear that from anyone else.
