The city of San Jose California has now passed a new law that will require all gun owners to purchase expensive insurance and pay a ‘Gun Owner Fee’ in order to own a firearm within city limits.

As NBC Bay Area reports:

Weeks after a gunman shot and killed nine people at a VTA rail yard, the San Jose City Council is taking steps it hopes will help reduce gun violence and the costs to taxpayers.

It voted Tuesday to establish a yet-to-be-determined gun owner fee to help cover the cost of gunshot-related police and ambulance response and medical treatment.

The council also approved requiring gun owners to purchase liability insurance…

Violators of the new laws could have their guns taken away. The police chief says enforcement would be limited.

Though the new law is almost certainly unconstitutional and is likely to face a slew of legal challenges it illustrates once again the illegal and unconstitutional lengths the radical left is willing to go to in order to disarm law abiding Americans.

  1. And I’m sure all the gang-bangers and other criminal element will be sure to sign-up for this new insurance on all their legally owned guns. Oh wait, their guns are illegally owned so I guess they might have a bit of hesitancy to comply, just a little I imagine. If you didn’t get it this was a sarcastic statement! 😉

      1. Well the criminals certainly won’t, because of course they are criminals and don’t give a rats ass about any laws or anyone else. I’ve lived on and off in CA since 1966 and have never seen it so bad, it is turning into a third world country, and I’ve lived in those places also. Now we have Mexican cartels moving in setting up giant illegal mary jane grows all around and they are armed to the teeth. But it would appear nobody in CA government is to worried about that.

      1. Liberalism has turned into a disease. They are beyond repair. The city leaders are sheep who will say or do anything so as not to lose their positions of power; damn the ethics! Power is all that matters. Hey?

        1. Valkyrie hit the nail on the head. Liberalism is all about power and control. What is not about is “common sense”.

    1. globalists and globalist puppet democrat criminal party and globalist puppet rino criminal party and globalist media and globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep want to take all our legal guns so that only globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep will have illegal guns and no one will be able to stop globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep, mass shooters .

    2. Get hold of a Constitutional Booklet and know your rights. America never signed up for Communism

    1. And leave your globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep non mentality in schithole san jose after you leave .

  2. Are you TIRED of the VERMIN infested government we now have??? Try something NEW in 2022, VOTE EACH AND EVERY democrat OUT, your ancestors will THANK YOU!!!

  3. This is a delightful idea and should be immediately be followed by a “Cigarette owner fee”, a “Cell Phone owner fee” and an “Alcohol Drinkers fee” to pay for the damage done and lives lost due to these common hazards.

  4. Any law the government intends to enact should be required to meet Constitutional requirements, before being voted on. If not done this way, all court cases that come from it and the government looses, must pay all legal costs of the plaintive, even appeals. These liberal cities make these laws to force their agendas, hoping that people will comply, without legal challenges, because of the costs, the public won’t bring a law suit. Most States have laws that cities can not make a law stronger than the State has enacted. These new city laws seem to fall into the category! Encourage the citizens not to accept then as Constitutional and take them to court.

  5. California (Peoples Republic of)……anybody with a scintilla of common sense would simply leave ASAP!!! And leave any notions of ever voting for a progressive candidate again far behind!!! DO NOT try to turn free states into the hellhole you should be escaping from!

  6. It’s only the beginning. It won’t be long before they pass laws concerning what you may no longer say. Then what you write may be challenged, because it might offend some people. Of course, your skin color will certainly be a factor concerning the opportunities made available. According to the Left, if you are white, you are born a racist. Children will most certainly be taught the values that the community leaders approve and will suffer the consequences on the playgrounds. Íf it all doesn’t work according in the way the “city council” believes, it would be time to create a scapegoat in order to redirect the blame. How about blaming it all on the Jews, or, perhaps. the Catholics. The Left doesn’t seem to like them or any religion anymore these days. Then a curfew will be established to “protect” the community. After all, anyone outside after 10 pm certainly cannot be up to any good. Everyone knows that the Left does not respect the Constitution of the United States. Biden doesn’t respect it either, why should anyone else? This all happened in Nazi Germany during the 1930s. It could happen here if we allow it. Our leaders should do everything to protect our freedoms, not find ways to limit them. San Jose leaders have not learned anything from history and they certainly are a full out danger to our freedoms. STOP THEM BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

  7. Just more Democrat dishonesty. When will Americans learn NOT to vote for Democrats – no matter what!

    1. Happy July 4 to all libby snow flake male sheep moderators and their husband, Happy July 4 to all libby snow flake female sheep moderators and their wife . . . . .

  8. There is another solution to that in San Jose, the people that live there can elect new members to their City Council with the intent to reverse the law, but of course that would require that they vote against “feel good” law that is ineffectual and unconstitutional.

  9. Are they going to make the Bad guys buy insurance , And they going to make Gangs buy insurance. This just can not be allowed to happen, only the honest good guy will end up paying .

    1. globalists want to insure that only globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep own illegal guns and no one can stop their mass shootings .

    1. You must not have hurt libby snow flake sheep, moderators little feelings since they approved your comment . . . . .

  10. Every gun oner should not only move out of this place but out of California. This stupidness MUST be stopped somehow.

  11. “It does not appear that the power proposed to be exercised by the bill is among the enumerated powers.” 
    James Madison.

  12. I really don’t know why this would come as a surprise to you californakators look what you keep voting into office, so how the dumboRats ruining your state workin out for you huh? Don’t move to any of these states we don’t want your kind of stupid , oh wait that’s every state who doesn’t have a dumborat Governor or any dumboRats running down our states, even Nv has a dumborat but we like our guns and we’re all law abiding! SanJose are idiots the gun man who went on that shooting spree was a criminal with illegal guns why can’t they go after the criminal instead of law abiding citizens, and FYI what their doing IS illegal fight them then impeach the lot of them, wise up people and stop being stupid!
