San Jose Mayor Doubles Down On 2A "Poll Tax"(Unconstitutional)
Bearing Arms ^ | 06/08/2021 | Cam Edwards

Liccardo acknowledged his plan won’t “magically stop” mass shootings but says it at least should reduce the harm caused by firearms in the city.

He wants the city by September to adopt an ordinance requiring gun owners in San Jose to pay an annual fee and carry insurance to cover unintentional firearms-related deaths, injuries or property damage. The insurance could not legally cover intentional harm caused by a gun owner, he acknowledged. The city has yet to determine the annual fee, which would be used to cover emergency responses to shootings, medical care and related services, but Liccardo said it would be “modest.”

Those who don’t pay up could have their weapons seized or be fined, although police won’t be actively looking for violations and instead will enforce the law when checking on gun-related incidents or responding to weapons calls.

So glad I moved out of that rip-off evil state.

Why not have insurance for skill saws, chain saws, swimming pool drowning insurance, or how about knife insurance?

First we need a “insurance / poll tax” on politicians of all stripes given that all of our ills are caused by them. Well, almost all.

We need a poll tax on voters so we can ensure that elections are securely monitored and audited as necessary.

Tax should be on D voters only since they created the need for the additional monitoring and audits.

Unfair to the poor, who have to live with a high proportion of criminals and seriously need their guns.

Let’s see. Who provides insurance for firearm owners? Doesn’t the NRA? Could this mayor’s stupidity boost NRA membership?

“adopt an ordinance requiring gun owners in San Jose to pay an annual fee and carry insurance to cover unintentional firearms-related deaths, injuries or property damage.”

“unintentional firearms-related deaths, injuries or property damage.”

Covering legal owners or to cover cost of damage and deaths caused by folks illegally owing firearms?

No, it’s a rights tax, like poll taxes to tax voting. (Which have been found unconstitutional.)
