It seems to me that a tax on all gun owners and requiring liability insurance is somewhat the same as taxing all cars to cover costs drunk driver accidents. Or taxing all banks for the cost of investigating bank robberies.
In a unanimous vote Tuesday night, San Jose's city council approved a national first that will see gun owners being forced to compensate taxpayers for the spiraling costs of gun violence. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, gun owners in California's third-largest city will be required to take out liability insurance for their firearms, and pay an annual tax that will help fund emergency responses to gun-related calls.
All of us already pay for police in property taxes and other taxes. It seems discriminatory to single out gun owners that have nothing to do with the gun violence.
