Gun control activists and anti-gun politicians are getting pretty creative in their attempts to prevent responsible Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights, though their efforts aren’t getting any more constitutionally-sound.
In San Jose, city council members have decided to up the ante on their requirement that legal gun owners purchase liability insurance by tacking on a $1000 fine for repeat “offenders” discovered in possession of a firearm without an insurance policy; a decision that one 2A group already suing the city calls atrocious.
“San Jose is hell-bent on disarming law-abiding gun owners anyway possible, at least as far as they can get away with in the courts,” wrote NAGR’s Policy Director Hannah Hill. “And a $1,000 fine for simply exercising your God-given right to keep and bear arms unless you bow down, buy insurance, and kiss their ring is simply atrocious.”
