"..will be required to take out liability insurance for their firearms, and pay an annual tax that will help fund emergency responses to gun-related calls."

Yea, I'll get right on it.

Tax a protected right and mandate paying for and having insurance in order to continue that right. I wonder how that compares to a poll tax and voter ID?

They're treating it like cigarettes and evil tobacco.
Even if it goes through and survives challenges, they'll piss away that money on something else.
Everyone will get a Jason Voorhees mask for their transaction.

Probably 99% of illegal aliens don't have automobile insurance.. that's double plus bad. Get on it, California. Thanks.

None of the honest gun owners caused any of this

San Jose is already facing two law suits over the constitutionality of requiring gun-owning residents to purchase insurance for their weapons and pay a fee that would help cover the cost of gun violence in the city.

Bingo.

The law is expected to take effect in August, and when it does, gun-owning residents will be required to pay a $25 to $35 fee on top of purchasing insurance. A nonprofit organization, which is in the process of being set up, will manage and distribute the funds to suicide-prevention programs, fire-arm safety training and gender-based violence services, according to the ordinance.

A nonprofit organization, which is in the process of being set up...

Oh, I can just see it now, this "nonprofit" will bleed out 97 cents out of every dollar to fill pockets, with 3 cents going to actually benefit programs.
Way to go grub-ment.

I have family in that area and wonder why the heck the continue to live in that cesspool of a state. It's all they've known. Ironic that I've lived in Oregon my whole life. My family in Montana talk similar of me...

I hope everyone just ignores it.
