The gun racks at San Francisco’s only gun store, High Bridge Arms, are almost empty, but for the first time in 27 years, the manager won’t be restocking them.
Steven Alcairo, High Bridge Arms general manager, says San Francisco’s overly strict gun regulations have become too onerous on his business over the years and that a new proposal to videotape all gun sales is the last straw for him.
“I won’t put my customers through that … It’s an invasion of their privacy,” Alcairo said.
San Francisco supervisor for district 2 Mark Farrell is proposing gun reform regulations that would require the video recording of all gun and ammunition sales in San Francisco. Under the new law, Alcairo would have to set up a video surveillance system that would be approved by the San Francisco police department (SFPD). He would have to keep the video footage at the store for at least one year and provide it to local, state, and federal law enforcement if served with a warrant. The new regulations would also require gun store owners to regularly send ammunition sales data to the SFPD.
