About the bill
States or municipalities can (and do) mandate auto insurance for car owners; should a similar requirement be in effect for gun owners?
Context and what the bill does
San Jose, California enacted two first-of-their-kind measures in January requiring firearm owners to both carry liability insurance and pay an annual $25 fee per household.
The City Council enacted the insurance vote almost unanimously, 10–1, while the fee vote was slightly closer but still passed overwhelmingly by 8–3.
The No User Fees for Gun Owners Act would prevent any state or municipality from enacting a tax, user fee, or equivalent financial measure on firearm owners.
It was introduced in the House on April 1 as H.R. 7366, by Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX13).
