How was this even possible?

Last night, two armed men entered a restaurant in San Francisco, robbed the restaurant itself, and took the wallets, purses, watches, jewelery etc of all the customers. They then fled on foot. Police currently have no clues as to who they were.

But here's the strange thing.... On the TV coverage, you could see that the restaurant had a sign prominently displayed in plain sight by the front entrance that clearly said "No Firearms Permitted". Why didn't this stop the robbers from going in and robbing the place? Isn't that why Liberals want gun bans, so that the ban stops people committing crimes?

    "No Firearms Permitted"

    Sounds like the safest place to rob to me.

    Beats me. The liberal mayor of Seattle passed a law banning guns in the public parks, and other public places. I guess he thought that the guys going to the park to commit a crime would see the sign and say, "Whoa, we can't go in there. See that sign? We're gonna have to go some place else, maybe down to Tacoma." (The law has since been thrown out as being unconstitutional. The mayor was told by the state's Attorney General that it was unconstitutional before it was implemented but the mayor went ahead anyway. Just shows how stupid and how arrogant our "leaders" can be).

    maybe the poor, uneducated robbers could not read.

    if we had free education, then people would not commit crimes, or at least that is some people's thoughts as to the causes of crime.

    Statistics show that the lower rate of gun ownership does not lower the crime rate.

    In fact, areas with a high percentage of private gun ownership have a much lower violent crime rate than areas that have restrictive gun ownership laws.
