San Jose Will Force Gun Owners to Cover Costs of Gun Violence After Mass Shooting


According to the Chronicle, the exact details of the gun tax are yet to be worked out. City officials haven’t decided exactly how much they’ll charge gun owners each year as the cost will be determined after an academic study calculates how much gun violence costs the city. The mayor’s office recently estimated its costs at around $442 million every year.

The move is expected to face legal challenges from gun-rights groups.

Mayor Liccardo sounded optimistic that his proposals will stand. “I’m confident that we’re on the right side of the Constitution,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of smart attorneys that have been working with us, and a lot of organizations.”

They can't be that smart or they'd tell you not to push this.

The smart attorneys had their checks clear the bank. The real smart ones will get paid twice when it goes to court and they lose.
