Never mind unconstitutional, but the bad guys won`t buy the insurance anyway...DUH!

San Jose could be 1st to require gun liability insurance

Gun owners would be required to carry liability insurance and pay a fee in the city of San Jose that officials say would be the first of its kind in the United States, following a trend of other Democratic-led cities that have sought to rein in violence through stricter rules. “San Jose has an...

It will be challenged the day it is signed into law, and very likely granted an injunction.
Won't be hard to show "damages".
That's what it's designed to do.

But yet, we`re forced to address and respond to these endless attacks on our rights. The courts must make this drivel STOP!

You'll not get any argument from me, unless it's for your side.

The requirement won’t apply to current and retired law enforcement officers or those with a license to carry concealed weapons.
However the proposal does not address the massive problem of illegally obtained weapons that are stolen or purchased without background checks.

This law targets the wrong people. The vast majority of crimes are committed with illegally acquired or possessed guns. And for the few legal possessors that decide to commit a violent crime I'll bet none will change their mind based on fear of higher premiums.

 

[actaeon277]

Of course.
All they want to do is put up obstructions to LEGAL carriers.

It NEVER effects the illegal.

 

[CitizenX]

Sounds more like a Democrat investment opportunity than it does about "safety" and crime.

 

[actaeon277]

Mmmm. Are there insurance policies for CRIMINAL behavior.
I didn't know there were.

The ones I've known about are ACCIDENTAL behavior.


Oh, you thought the gun was loaded and shot them one time in the leg..
You're covered.

Oh, you shot the guy twice in the chest and once in the head and took his wallet...
Nope, not covered.

Good point. If insurance isn't available what then? It may turn into a case similar to the microstamping law. California required technology that didn't exist be put into new guns.

I read elsewhere that the insurance is intended to cover liability for accidents in legal use, theft etc. If owners don't get approved training or have secure storage (and presumably store guns unloaded or possibly disassembled) then coverage will be null or the premium will be higher. Thus the financial incentive to comply and the hoops to jump through.

Liccardo said gun violence costs San Jose taxpayers $40 million a year in emergency response services.

No kidding, and none of that cost was caused by your 5500 legal "registered" owners.
Stupid mother ****er.

The law is designed to make the supporters look good in front of big media and generate revenue for law firms and insurance companies. The only "crime" involved is the leadership which buys the law.

"WE NEED GUN REGISTRATION!!"

No, and this is why.

Here`s the bottom line; this is simply an additional tax that will penalize and hinder law-abiding U.S. Citizens who aren`t causing a problem in the world. It`s illegal as the day is long, and hopefully it gets smacked down quickly.

The only way they will stop, is if they stop being put in office..
Or if they have to pay out of their pocket for losing.

Like a poll tax, except worse.

There needs to be a consistency between voting laws and 1A/2A related law.
