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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
