Democrats love taxes. Now the Democrats in San Jose, who have allowed criminal to roam their streets want money to “fight” crime. They want to put a violence tax on your gun. I would call the gun an tool for anti-violence. But, when you are trying to get money to finance socialism and you do not want people to have self-protection, a tax on guns makes sense.
“Gun owners in San Jose would have to insure their weapons, pay a fee to cover taxpayer costs associated with gun violence and be video recorded while purchasing firearms under a plan Mayor Sam Liccardo released Tuesday.”
Funny, the criminals will not be recorded when they buy or steal guns. The criminals will not pay a tax on their guns—only those trying to protect their and property would be taxed. What a scam. How about a tax on knives, poison, special tax on cars to pay for drunk drivers—as the Democrat known you can make up a story to tax anything—just give government your money, all your money.
Will San Jose pass gun insurance, taxes?

Gun owners in San Jose would have to insure their weapons, pay a fee to cover taxpayer costs associated with gun violence and be video recorded while purchasing firearms under a plan Mayor Sam Liccardo released Tuesday. The 10-step agenda, introduced after last month’s mass shooting at a San Jose rail yard, would go further than state lawmakers were willing to last week, when they rejected a bill that would have taxed firearms and ammunition to fund gun violence prevention programs. Gun rights advocates are preparing to sue San Jose if the city council approves Liccardo’s plan — and they could very well have a good chance in court. A federal judge last week declared California’s three-decades-old ban on assault weapons unconstitutional, the third time he’s blocked the state’s strictest-in-the-nation gun control laws.
