The Soft Disarmament of San Jose’s Gun Insurance Requirement

The Soft Disarmament of San Jose’s Gun Insurance Requirement

The City of San Jose gave final approval in January to a new gun control ordinance under the guise of an insurance requirement and annual fee. The city’s mayor hopes others will “replicate these initiatives across the nation.”

San Jose’s gun insurance requirement is a targeted assault on individual rights, meant to make firearm ownership difficult while keeping it technically legal.

Part of this strategy is to make the law incredibly complicated.

Given the complexity and sheer volume of California’s gun laws, it is already extremely difficult for gun owners to know how and when California law affects them, let alone to understand this law’s full implications.
