Question
Do you know what the law name for the gun control in san fransico is?

Answer
Your question is not clear and I am not really sure what you are asking. There are doubtless numerous gun control laws in San Francisco, and even more applicable throughout the state of California. Perhaps you are referring to "Proposition H." If so, you can read about it here:
