San Jose Mayor: Firearms Will Be Confiscated From Gun Owners Who Don’t Pay City Fee And ‘Liability Insurance’​

San Jose’s city council passed a measure last month requiring gun owners to pay a $25 “harm reduction” fee and liability insurance or relinquish their firearms to the government, making the city the first in the nation to impose an annual fee on law-abiding, firearm owning citizens.
“For example, there’s a bar brawl and they’re patting down everybody and someone’s got a gun. ‘Have you paid your fee? You have insurance?’ ‘No.’ OK, well, there’s an opportunity for us to remove the gun. And then when the gun owner comes back and demonstrates that they comply with the law and they’re a lawful gun owner, they get their gun back. But in the meantime, you’ve taken a gun out of a bar brawl. And that’s not a bad thing,” he argued.

This will not have high compliance, will be litigated in short order and, IMO, thrown out. This just won't fly constitutionally. There may be roundabout ways for them to mandate it but this is direct and won't fly.

INAL but isn't this one of those scenarios in which you have to suffer damage before a lawsuit? I could see it being thrown out until the city actually seizes somebody's gun. At that point they have damages and can sue.

On top of any lawsuit, I'd want anyone associated with the city that's taking someone's gun away charged with theft since this law is illegal. Since it's a firearm it would be a felony charge which I would then use to remove any of them from their job or office.

Low seniority police officers, likely. The poor idealistic kids who just got out of academy and had good intentions at first….

Or they send the swat team in and shoot your dog too to send a message to the rest of the gun owners

What's the message ? Better get rid of that SWAT team before they come after you ?

'Cause that's the message I'd be hearing.

Pay to exercise a Constitutional Right, what a novel concept....
I haven seen this "“For example, there’s a bar brawl and they’re patting down everybody and someone’s got a gun. ‘" since the Movie 48 Hours in 1982....I'm telling you most of the incentive and idealism for Legislation comes from People without Middle Income Life experience that believe the "problems" are those depicted in Movies....Pick a Topic: "Switchblades" "Silencers" "Machineguns" "Pocket Pistols" it goes on and on.
Historical flash back: Remember Bush Sr. going to a Grocery Store and had no idea how to pay with a Card? Again, these Elite that get into political power have no idea how things work.

 

[Podmonkey]

I hope people don't and the city does. That is a 100% guaranteed smack down in SCOTUS.

 

[holdover]

Mayors are supposed to uphold constitutional law, not make it.

Nobody would comply with this stupid shit anyway. Do the criminals get to keep thier guns?

 

[camper4lyfe]

Sure sounds like a poll tax to me

 

[Saltwater60]

So it seems like you can just roll the dice by what he’s saying and see if you get caught. If you get caught either lose the gun(s) or comply.
I would keep one or two guns on me and move the rest out of the city and not pay the fee or insurance. Anyone know what the insurance cost is?

 

[RedBreast21]

Well, now it's sure to fail. lol

 

[Podmonkey]

Gun owning residents of San Jose need to get together now on funding some serious joint legal protection then they need to call the mayor's bet. The rest of us need to hope the fool isn't bluffing so he gets an epic cocksmacking in SCOTUS, and that would be a surety.
