Meanwhile, there is a direct correlation in states with weaker gun laws and higher rates of gun deaths, including homicides, suicides and accidental killings, a study released Thursday by Everytown for Gun Safety found.
The fact they are using a Everytown study as their basis for this just show that they really have no concept of unbiased studies.
As to enforcement, police officers crossing paths with gun owners would ask for proof of insurance, much like they do with car insurance during traffic stops, Liccardo explained.
This kind of concerns me as there are probably many more gun owners than there are CCW holders. Does this mean CA has and has been doing a de facto registration off of gun sales in the state? It would not surprise me.
"Certainly the Second Amendment protects every citizen's right to own a gun. It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right," Liccardo said Monday at a news conference.
Under San Jose's measure, gun owners would be charged an annual $25 fee directed to a nonprofit set up to distribute funds to gun crime prevention and to victims of gun violence.
"Certainly the Second Amendment protects every citizen's right to own a gun. It does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right," Liccardo said Monday at a news conference.
Charging a fee to exercise a Constitutional right, that has about zero chance of being allowed to stand once the courts get involved. It will take time and money but it will eventually be struck down IMO.
