SB 871would require treating COVID-19 vaccines like any other mandated inoculations for attending California’s K-12 schools. Medical exemptions, which are rare, would be allowed. And personal belief exemptions, which anti-vaxxers used as a giant loophole until they were outlawed in California, would also be barred for COVID vaccines.
SB 866 would allow children age 12 or older to get vaccinated without parental consent. California law already allows them on their own to get vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV) and hepatitis B and to access reproductive and mental health care services. Many students want to be vaccinated to protect themselves and those close to them from COVID. Sen. Scott Weiner’s legislation would expand youth access to all vaccines that have been fully approved by the federal government.
There is precedent to bring medical care to minors of all ages. Parents are not allowed to be a danger to their children no matter the cultural or religious issues at hand.
California has also passed a gun control bill that will hold up to constitutional demands. The state is asking for money, as a tax, for those that purchase and keep guns. It is also mandatory. It is time to price guns out of the American budget. California has a method that other states should consider.
Levying taxes is very constitutional. The Democrats should be passing gun taxes as well.
Liability insurance for guns is now mandatory in California. Many gun owners already purchase liability insurance that is linked to a lawyer within the association so that when an owner finally uses the gun there is a lawyer there to defend them.
Other insurance companies should consider selling MANDATORY gun liability insurance that includes a lawyer network as part of their homeowners or renters policies.
I think the NRA has a policy for $19.00 PER MONTH. I know the USCCA asks nearly $30.00 PER MONTH. There are perks that come with that, including monthly magazines and instructional videos.
Owning a gun is a priviledge and not a right in the USA, regardless of Amendment 2 to the USA Constitution. Guns can be legislated in their use and the people permitted to purchase them. No legislator should be worried about good gun laws that protect the public.
A car can be a weapon and so can a gun. The number of privately owned guns in the USA is a tragedy that happens everyday. It is time to act to pass laws that provide for the well being of the public.

San Jose - A California city (click here) voted Tuesday night to require gun owners to carry liability insurance in what’s believed to be the first measure of its kind in the United States.
The San Jose City Council overwhelmingly approved the measure despite opposition from gun owners who said it would violate their Second Amendment rights and promised to sue....
