Yeah, you read that right. Legal gun owners, who are not breaking any laws, will be told they have to pay for prosecuting crimes by criminals who use guns in the commission of a crime. It's pure insanity. How is a law abiding citizen responsible for the behavior of a criminal he doesn't even know? Yet that is the theory the city of San Jose is pushing.
In an unprecedented move that is sure to be challenged in court by gun-rights advocates, city leaders in San Jose voted Tuesday to require gun owners in the city to pay taxpayers for the public costs incurred by criminal gun violence. In a unanimous vote Tuesday night, the progressive San Jose...

Leftist Marxist anti-American fascists stupidly promote the idea that the way to finally get criminals to give up killing people is by increasing gun laws that they already ignore by the dozens. The result of removing guns from the hands of those who obey laws is to increase the ability of those who do not obey laws to commit greater unrestrained violence on the innocent and unprotected. Biden supports democrat stupidity which again stands in sharp rebellion against science and reason.
High-quality research has not been done to examine if tightening restrictions on gun dealers leads to a reduction in violent crime, raising questions about whether President Biden’s recently announced crime-prevention strategy will work.

High-quality research has not been done to examine if tightening restrictions on gun dealers leads to a reduction in violent crime, raising questions about whether President Biden’s recently announced crime-prevention strategy will work.
Mr. Biden’s plan to combat a rising tide of violent crime includes targeting licensed gun dealers who break laws, creating strike forces to stop firearms trafficking and giving more money to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the agency that tracks the nation’s guns.
The president said the three-pronged strategy will save lives by targeting “merchants of death,” but he offered no metrics on how much his new policies could reduce gun deaths.
The Rand Corporation, a nonprofit think tank, has analyzed thousands of studies on gun policy research published since 1995. In a report released last year, researchers concluded there was a surprisingly limited base of scientific evidence on the effects of commonly discussed gun policies.
Among the thousands of studies researchers reviewed, 123 studies conducted since 1995 were found to have met high standards for evidence.
