为你的枪买保险了吗？在圣何塞，没买保险最高罚1000美元！
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) – San Jose is moving forward with hefty fines for gun owners who break a new and strict firearm law, the first of its kind in the U.S.
旧金山(KCBS广播电台)——圣何塞正在推进对违反一项新的严格的枪支法的持枪者的高额罚款，这是美国第一个城市实施此类法律。
The legislation, passed by the city council in January, requires all San Jose gun owners to pay a $25 yearly fee, which will go towards harm reduction through a non-profit, as well as carry liability insurance.
该法案于今年1月由市议会通过，要求所有圣何塞枪支拥有者每年支付25美元的费用，这笔费用将通过非盈利机构用于减少伤害，同时携带责任保险。
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo has been a fierce advocate for the legislation since the Gilroy Garlic festival shooting in 2019. followed by the VTA shooting in May, 2021.
自2019年吉尔罗伊大蒜节枪击事件以来，圣何塞市长山姆·利卡多一直是该立法的强烈倡导者。随后发生了2021年5月的VTA枪击案。
"There are a lot of gun-owning organizations that may not be happy about this measure, but I think we share a common ambition which is reducing the number of suicides, homicides and accidental shootings," Liccardo told KPIX.
利卡多对KPIX表示:“有很多枪支持有组织可能对这项措施感到不满，但我认为我们有一个共同的目标，那就是减少自杀、杀人和意外枪击的数量。”
"The likelihood of dying in a domestic violence incident is about five times higher if there's a gun in the home. So we want to make sure that occupants at home, where there's a gun, have access to these kinds of services. Gun safety classes, there are a host of things we can be doing," he added.
“如果家里有枪，死于家庭暴力事件的可能性会高出5倍。所以我们要确保家里的居民，只要有枪，就能获得这些服务。枪支安全课程，我们可以做很多事情，”他补充说。
This week, the city council passed a measure which institutes fines for non-compliance with the new law.
本周，市议会通过了一项措施，对不遵守新法律的人进行罚款。
The fines rise with each offense: the first costs $250, the second $500 and a third offense and beyond is $1000 dollars for not carrying insurance.
每次违规罚款都会增加:第一次罚款250美元，第二次罚款500美元，第三次及以上罚款1000美元，因为没有携带保险。
"That's illegal. They don't have any right to tax you to exercise a guaranteed right to the constitution," Christoper Stone, spokesperson for the National Foundation for Gun Rights, told KCBS Radio. The organization is part of a group who filed a federal lawsuit against the city on Tuesday night, arguing that the law is unconstitutional.
“这是非法的。他们没有任何权利向你征税来行使宪法保障的权利，”全国枪支权利基金会发言人克里斯托弗·斯通在接受KCBS电台采访时表示。该组织是一个团体的一部分，该团体于周二晚向纽约市提起了一项联邦诉讼，称该法律违宪。
"From our perspective what San Jose is doing is conditioning the exercise of a bill of rights guarantee by forcing people to purchase insurance," he continued.
“从我们的角度来看，圣何塞的做法是通过强迫人们购买保险来限制权利保障法案的行使，”他继续说。
San Jose's law is being defended by a team of legal experts, national organizations and the law firm Chochet, Pietre and McCarthy, which has offered to represent the city pro-bono.
圣何塞的法律得到了一个由法律专家、国家组织和Chochet, Pietre and McCarthy律师事务所组成的团队的支持。Chochet, Pietre and McCarthy律师事务所已主动提出无偿代表圣何塞进行辩护。
