Lee when I woke up and read the story this morning I thought today was April 1st not July 1st. When you look up the definition of unconstitutional in the dictionary this guys picture should appear. You are right that he is being blatantly honest but it doesn’t make it any less alarming!
I don't know whether its the marijuana or maybe the reflection off of all the solar panels, but California politicians have Jell-O for brains, and that's an insult to Jell-O. Between Newsom, Kamala, and this mayor, the only thing I can do is quote the great Bugs Bunny: "What a bunch or maroons" "What an embezzle"
I'm sure this will take off like wildfire in many states - regardless of constitutionality. "They" (Bloomberg, etc.) have an almost infinite amount of money to keep the suppression going.
There's going to be a lot of work required by the San Jose police: they'll need warrants to grab those guns (yeah, right, they'll bother with warrants).
One statement I found really amusing was "...taxing a stabbing victim for bleeding on the sidewalk. ". That's something they would *definitely* do in NJ. After all, they tax rainwater (truth! it's mostly aimed at businesses, who have to pay for parking lot runoff - which is the direct result of over-development and turning the state into a third-world country).
I'm not a lawyer, but it would appear to me that hizzoner may have opened a door into setting a court precedent (if there isn't already) of where the responsibility lays for keeping the city safe from 'harm'.
When a city lays the blame squarely on a select subset of those citizens and attempts to levy a tax against constitutionally protected rights, I believe it could backfire if it makes it to court with good lawyers and good judges. I know that's asking a lot from California, but there have to be some in there somewhere.
It wouldn't have to be a lot of good lawyers, even some of the 'not so good' ones will see dollar signs by looking at the deep pockets of many cities. Carefully selecting a city in a known reliable district may be enough to get the ball rolling.

LOL! It's one of those type of stories that's so crazy you almost don't believe it.
To quote " I don't understand his kind of stupid, but I admire his enthusiasm!"
LOL!
