Wtf? People voted yes?

Its a trick poll.

It forces you to state that removing firearms is a public benefit because the guns are somehow inherently bad.

Ignore the poll.

Should tell you everything right there

Yeah, charge gun owners for the state to be able to charge criminals for gun related crimes.

Next, let's charge everybody with male genitalia to fund police to catch male rapists, and charge only people of Afghani descent to fun the war in Afghanistan!

That makes sense right?

So, is this about their stealing the excess DROS funds for other firearm related crime fighting?

Gunowners already pay a fee for this. The fee is generally known as taxes.

Why not sell the firearms to people who can own guns thus you would have source of income??

[F-2_Challenger]

people should have to pay a $200.00 dollar a year tax for the privilege of not owning a firearm.

What excess DROS funds? And the DROS may go up soon if certain legislature is passed. Are you napping? Wake up! We need your support!
Either way... This poll is obviously 420 friendly. Just stoned stupid...

[forgiven]

No, no and no...

[Mute]

Keep in mind this is a poll most likely answered by SFGate readers and even so, if you tally all the yes and no votes there are more no votes.

52% no
48% yes
