This proposal is a blatant infringement on peoples second amendment rights. You cannot tax or mandate a right guaranteed by the U.S. constitution. I urge the city to cease and desist this proposal due to the massive and irreparable legal as well as financial repercussions the city will face if this is enacted.
This proposal cannot provide a safer community environment nor reduce gun violence since this proposal only penalize law-abiding gun owners instead of criminal s with illegal guns. Second, why should law abiding owners pay for the damages caused by criminals?
this is nothing more than an unconstitutional attempt to deprive rights and to score political points by causing misery for firearm owner citizens. Will do nothing to reduce crime, will cost taxpayers to defend in court against the inevitable lawsuit. Shame on you SJ. Please do the work of the people rather than this ill-conceived nonsense.
Taxing lawful gun owners will not solve gun violence problem. Arrest and incarceration of all criminals will. STOP targeting law abiding citizens. Refund the police and prosecute criminals to the max extent if you want the problem to end!
I oppose the taxes and mandatory buying insurance because some one committed a crime against you. Stop making the law abiding citizens pay for criminals.

Attacking law abiding gun owners for the actions of criminals is absolutely wrong. When a criminal wants a gun they aren't going to go buy it in a gun store and pay taxes and have their names tied to the weapon instead they will buy it off the streets somewhere and not pay taxes on it so in reality this does nothing but hurt the citizens of this city.
Criminal don’t follow rules. These dumb laws don’t make it hard for anybody except for law abiding citizens who wish to have a means to defend themselves. This has been said time and again. IT DOESNT WORK! You can ban kitchen knive, and people will still find a way to be violent. It’s not the tools, its the people.
The mayor himself said this will do nothing to stop gun violence. How about punish criminals instead of turning them loose and inviting more to come to our city! This will only cost taxpayers millions in lawsuits and do nothing to keep guns out of the hands that they dont belong in. Please oppose!!!
The Gun Harm Reduction Ordinance is blame-shifting: taxing law-abiding citizens for the actions of criminals. It is an unconstitutional attack on the right to keep and bear arms. Then in a twisted irony, making them pay for the City's violation of their own civil rights, by paying the legal fees to defend this unlawful ordinance. I urge you to follow the law and vote no. If you truly want to keep this city safe, start by supporting your police officers, and keeping criminals in jail.
I do not understand why responsible gun owners are forced to foot the bill for the city’s gun control wish list… I fail to see how this tax will make anyone safer, and instead see an unconstitutional measure placed upon citizens who did not directly vote on this.
Firearms are a strong deterrent and means of self defense. I fail to see how making the price of such a deterrent higher makes the city or the citizens any safer from criminals.
If this passes see you in court.
This is a very misguided attempt for the city council to say that they made a difference. I’m sure this will make people “feel” safer, but in reality accomplishes nothing. How about the homeless and rising crime rates? Let’s go for the low hanging fruit instead of addressing the important issues.
Your actions are very bizarre and unreasonable! It's like: You want to prevent the rape of women in San Jose, and then you do orchiectomy on every man in San Jose
Strongly oppose …. This is an unacceptable ordinance
Tax paying home owners are not the issue …
Hold the criminals accountable !!!
What is your purpose trying to make American people become so weak?

Your proposed Gun Harm Reduction Ordinance just makes you seem bigoted against lawful gun owners. You really shouldn't do this.

Do something to make city a safe place for citizens. This isn’t going to do anything good.
