Surprised this discussion hadnt popped up yet....

Unconstitutional as all get out...especially the fee/tax on Right....no different then an illegal poll tax.
Other points......mayor openly admits that criminals wont abide by liability rules or fee rules. Also liabilty insurance only covers in most cases accidental/negligent discharges...intentional acts (far and away the most likely cause of gun violence) are not covered. Insurance premiums are low but thats not the point. However low premiums are an indicator that insurance companies dont see much risk in paying claims. $10-$30 a month for gun liabilty vs $150 a month for car insurance tells me insurance companies feel more financial risk from you and your car then your gun meaning car claims are far more numerous than gun claims...
Feel good action that will likely not pass muster in court.
