In an interview with Slate, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo talked about confiscating firearms from people who do not pay the city’s new liability insurance mandate for gun owners.
As AWR Hawkins of Breitbart Newsnoted, San Jose’s city council passed the mandatory fee and liability insurance ordinance fees on January 25, 2022.
Per the Slate report, the city fee is $25. Liccardo was quoted in saying that the fees will go towards a foundation run by “Stanford professors, an epidemiologist who has been focused on gun harm, and nonprofit experts who understand domestic violence prevention programs, suicide prevention.”
Liccardo claimed that the ordinance mandating the fee is “civil,” as opposed to criminal in nature. The San Jose Mayor revealed, however, that failure to pay the fee will lead to the confiscation of the firearm.
