San Jose poised to take a step closer to first-in-the-nation gun ownership requirements

Democrat back door to gun confiscation.

[eyeamok]

He may be on to something, how about:

All persons elected to office in the City of _____, Shall maintain a minimum of $20 Million dollars of Liability Insurance. Any person that can articulate a reasonable suspicion that they have suffered an Injury or Loss as a result of a Deliberate False or Misleading Statement or Act by an elected official, Shall be Entitled to a judgement in Civil Small Claims Court, equal to but not less than , the Maximum Monetary Award available.

[Lockbox]

1 million in population and $442 million in cost, so $442 per person! Really?

[Darksheare]

Yup.

[datura]

“Certainly the Second Amendment protects every citizen's right to own a gun. It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right,"

Ok Democrat, apply that to ABORTION!! Why should taxpayers subsidize murder of children???

[Flick Lives]

No different than a poll tax or “first amendment license”.

—

Exactly.

[Blood of Tyrants]

You mean like a background check before every gun purchase at an FFL dealer?

[AZJeep]

Just join NRA. They provide some kind of gun insurance as membership benefit (last I checked).

[SPDSHDW]

Lot of em.

And a lot of then are garage built.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Yeah, but the founders didn’t define that in the Constitution......./s

[Scrambler Bob]

So how do they know I have a gun?

(Get into State DOJ database)

And what if I don’t keep it in city limits?

(Will they come and check)

[21twelve]

Darn. From the headline I thought they were going to make it a requirement that everyone owns a gun (like some small towns have done.).

[Adder]

It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that

You haven’t paid a damn dime for mine.

No way this passes muster...

[frank ballenger]

Street gang members exempt.

"We don't need no steeenkin' liability insurance."

Guy in yellow with the Emu in Liberty ads: "You might think twice about that, fellas. This is a litigious society now."

[frank ballenger]

Agree.

Reduce the number of citizens who can afford the insurance and the license and fees and safety training by making them all too expensive. And guns are already hundreds of dollars as it is. Not to mention ammo costs lately.*

The right of the very rich to bear arms shall not be abridged.

* Captain Chambers, friend of Mike Hammer on the Darren McGavin Mike Hammer show in the 1950s: (standing over dead guy) “Somebody wasted 2 cents for a bullet to kill this guy. Must have thought he was worth it.”

[SPDSHDW]

Look at the billboards. They’re all in spanish. That’s SJ’s problem

[lightman]

Decades ago rhe Borough of Franklintown in northwestern York County, Pennsylvania, enacted an Ordinance with gun owneership requirments: EVERY adult resident was REQUIRED to own and maintain a firearm.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Unconstitutional!

San Jose’s crime problem is largely caused by illegal aliens.

[Inyo-Mono]

It’s remarkable. I live in an area where household gun ownership is likely very near 100%. We have zero gun violence. San Jose must have some sort of problem. It’s not a gun problem.

Ditto. Same where I live.

[KC_Conspirator]

Correct thing to do would be for politicians to carry the same liability as liberals let criminals out in the streets.
