This law does absolutely nothing to reduce violent crime. Law abiding citizens are not the ones that are committing the crimes, and these are the people that you are punishing. This is a pure money grab by the county and government. You are being sneaky and absolutely going against the 2nd amendment. This is a blatant pay to play scenario where you are trying to price out everyone that wants to uphold their 2nd amendment right.
Crime is up due to economic policies and being soft on crime. Law abiding citizens who want to buy a gun to protect themselves from rising crime and uncertainty are punished. This makes no sense and further shows whose side our political leaders are on. They are on the side of taking no accountability for their failed policies and are against law abiding citizens.
Please address the real issue of being soft on criminals and enforce the existing laws you have. You will not stop gun violence by punishing law abiding gun owners.
This is another attempt to punish law abiding gun owners for the actions of criminals. Once criminals are held accountable then we can look for other solutions.
This is as ridiculous as it sounds and I expect nothing less from an inept city council. Obviously law abiding 2A people are the issue in their minds. The gangbangers and mentally ill who are responsible for all gun violence are not. Let's continue to coddle them San Jose!
This ordinance is in direct violation of the 2nd amendment rights of the citizens of your city. Please DO NOT approve this ordinance. Do not punish those that want to be able to defend themselves against the criminals that the police can not.
The proposed ordinance is a waste of tax payer dollars, it will accomplish nothing beyond putting an undue burden onto law abiding gun owners, and restricting their rights. Please vote no on this ill advised item, voting this forward will do nothing other than have it tied up in court for years, with it ultimately failing anyway, please put the money to better use for the people of San Jose.
Third time you moved the comments section.... Trying to silence comments? You are attempting to enact unconstitutional laws, it will be challenged, you will loose and you are making the residents pay for the defense of an indefensible position. You all need your pink slips!
I am in favor of this ordinance and ask that the city council votes to approve actions which can help reduce gun violence in our city. This ordinance does not infringe on the right to bear arms, rather it requires those who own guns be responsible for the costs incurred by San Jose taxpayers when responding and dealing with gun related crimes. There is no other industrialized nation in the world that experiences the amount of death and harm due to guns that our nation suffers from.
This proposal ridiculous. We as citizens in this city should not be subject to these type of prohibited taxes and infringements. Why is it that if someone steals and unlawfully possesses a firearm they are simply slapped with a misdemeanor and goes about his merry way. It’s about time the city places higher penalties on true criminals and not infringe on honest citizens. Any councilmember willing to vote yes on this issue will definitely not get my vote ever.
As stated in the Bill of Rights, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. What this law proposes is exactly an infringement upon such right and is a violation of our constitution.
This is a gross infringement on the 2nd amendment, a hollow plan that includes taxation without representation as well as disregard for the God given right to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.You should all be ashamed of yourselves for even considering this. Sincerely, Disgusted Citizen.
Simply ridiculous. How about you stop neglecting the facts and tackle the real issues. I can tell you it's not guns. You're trying to impose fees and taxes on people who aren't committing crimes. You think criminals have guns registered in their names. Most crime happens in poverty stricken area, but you're exempting the poor? Please stop this foolishness. Do not pass this bill. Matter of fact, do not bring up gun control again. Focus your time in office on mental health and homlessness.

Writing to request that you oppose the so-called Gun Harm Reduction Ordinance. Please oppose.

I strongly oppose this ordinance; which is an additional tax on law abiding citizens.
The entire purpose of this effort is to “impound weapons”. This is from legal owners and not criminals. It is an illegal tax and I don’t support it.
Taxing law abiding citizens will not reduce crime and we know you are aware of this. Enforce the existing laws is the only way to reduce crime.

Please do not infringe on our 2A right!!!

This is just another way to prevent poor people from owning firearms.
