San Jose City Council will vote at Tuesday’s meeting on gun harm reduction ordinances proposed in the wake of a tragic mass shooting that took nine lives at the Santa Clara County Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) yard in May--including a first-of-its kind mandate for insurance, and an annual fee for gun owners to relieve the public cost of gun violence. Ahead of the vote, the Pacific Institute on Research and Evaluation (PIRE) provided preliminary estimates from its Public Cost of Gun Harm Study for San José. PIRE estimates the cost to taxpayers stemming from gun violence in San José is $442 million annually.

How difficult is it to understand that a whole category of law-abiding, peaceable citizens can't be penalized for the criminal acts of individuals?
This kind of thinking is, well, insane. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
