Would it not be better to not have allowed this to begin with?

I am glad that the NRA stepped up to the plate in fighting the San Francisco gun ban. Would it not have been better to have not have had the problem to begin with? This is yet another instance of the NRA not wanting to get involved in local politics and then later having to deal with local political issues when they run amock. Oh, but they don't have the time and resources to work to get gun friendly people in office at anything less than the state level, I am repeatedly told. Then, they have to spend thousands of dollars in law suits at the local level later. An ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure??? Click on the post title for the article.
