> Summary of Democrat strategy...

Another Democrat strategy, and Joe Biden's fave, is to
violate the constitution, again, and again, and again...

Ridiculous that Governments thinks they can force private citizens
to purchase and consume private services and goods.

Among other preposterous notions, such as that governments
have the right to commit theft, robbery, and extortion upon you,
when you have no such right to do that to them, or even any
right to defend yourselves from them committing those crimes.



San Jose To Disproportionately Punish Low-Income Gun Owners With
Liability Insurance Requirement

"Hold on, guys. Let me check the gun laws first.  -- said No Criminal Ever."

>From their ivory towers (and returning to their low-crime
neighborhoods) the San Jose, California City Council has decreed that
gun owners will soon be required to carry liability insurance and pay
a fee if they want to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.

The new requirements - the first of their kind in the United States -
disproportionately punishes low-income residents who wish to defend
themselves against criminals who will ignore the new financial burden.

    It’s the illegal gun ownership that needs restrictions. Don’t
punish legal gun owners.

It's unclear when exactly the plan will go into effect, according to ABC7.

Fighting the law is the Firearm Policy Coalition, which called it
"burdensome, unconstitutional, and prohibited by California law" to
law-abiding citizens who own firearms.

"Since San Jose's recalcitrant City Council members don't believe that
the United States Constitution applies to them or their citizens,
Firearms Policy Coalition and our members are now committed to fight
the City's outrageous and offensive policies in federal litigation and
take every possible action to block their enforcement," said the
group.

The move follows June 2021 legislation requiring the video taping of
all legal gun purchases.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said at a Monday press conference that
"San Jose has an opportunity to become a model for the rest of the
nation to invest in proven strategies to reduce gun violence, domestic
violence and suicide and the many other preventable harms from
firearms in our communities."

    Having liability insurance would encourage people in the 5,500
households in San Jose who legally own at least one registered gun to
have gun safes, install trigger locks and take gun safety classes,
Liccardo said.

    The liability insurance will cover losses or damages resulting
from any negligent or accidental use of the firearm, including death,
injury, or property damage, according to the ordinance. If a gun is
stolen or lost, the owner of the firearm would be considered liable
until the theft or loss is reported to authorities. -ABC7

The law won't apply to current or retired law enforcement officers,
those with a license to carry, or anyone who simply ignores it.
