San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom: Getty Images PhotoLess than 24 hours after the U.S. Supreme Court largely gutted Washington, D.C.'s ban on handguns, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced Friday that he will be implementing new anti-gun programs in a continuing effort to reduce gun violence in the city.

Newsom made the announcement flanked by Police Chief Heather Fong and District Attorney Kamala Harris. These new initiatives are in addition to legislation Mayor Newsom forwarded in summer 2007 to reduce gun violence in San Francisco.

"We don't need to anticipate the location of future offenses to reduce gun violence," Newsom said in a statement. "We need to get illegal firearms off the streets now and these efforts will help us do just that."

Congressional candidate Tom McClintockRepublican U.S. House candidate Tom McClintock has won his second endorsement from the pro-gun community in as many days.

“As a member of the California State Legislature for almost two decades, you have been a champion for our Second Amendment rights and hunting heritage,” wrote National Rifle Association chairman Chris W. Cox in a letter explaining the organization's endorsement.
