SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose on Tuesday is believed to be the first city in the nation to approve liability insurance and a fee for San Jose gun owners.
The gun control ordinance, introduced by San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo was approved in a virtual meeting. The meeting included discussion portions by the mayor, city council and public comment.
The San Jose City Council overwhelmingly approved the measure despite opposition from some gun owners who said it would violate their Second Amendment rights.
There were two separate votes; one on the insurance mandate, which passed 10 to one, and a second on the annual fee, which passed 8 to 3.
