San Jose To Tax Gun Owners

[Defender]

Here we go, another anti-constitutional law by the crazies out in California. "Gun owners in San Jose, California, will soon face a yearly tax and be required to carry additional insurance after their city council voted unanimously Tuesday evening to impose the new measures" Fox News Business reported today. "The forthcoming fee for gun ownership in the city has not yet been determined, but officials said that anyone found to be in noncompliance will have their weapons confiscated". I can't see how this can pass constitutional muster.

Somebody was bound to try this somewhere. It will be interesting to see if lawsuits follow quickly. Personally it would be expensive for me and many that I know. Granted it being commiefornia they can*t have that many big collections there but who wants to pay another tax.

Its only a problem if one abides.

This is so unconstitutional as to be downright farcical. Are we sure this isn't a Babylon Bee story?

It won't hold up for a single day.

It's rumored that San Jose City Council's next move is a Poll Tax, no paid tax receipt, no vote.

I think this might be one of those "hills to die on" if it was ever proposed here.

Apparently, it was nice, once...

Do you know the way to San José?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San José?
I'm going back to find
Some peace of mind in San José

L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas

You can really breathe in San José
They've got a lot of space
There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San José
I'm going back to find
Some peace of mind in San José

Fame and fortune is a magnet
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away
I've got lots of friends in San José
Do you know the way to San José?

Oh, L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two
They'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years,how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas
I've got lots of friends in San José
Ohhhh, Do you know the way to San José?
Hmmmm, Can't wait to get back to San José

Mass non compliance would be a good start as well as a law suit. What will they do, send a bill in the mail like our silly per capita tax?

I am going to guess that city council, will push reasonable men, to do unreasonable things. Where's Killdozer when you need it?
