During a press conference Tuesday, Mayor Liccardo announced, if enacted, the two proposals would be the first of their kind in the U.S.
The first ordinance would require gun owners to purchase liability insurance for their weapons, while the second would charge owners a fee to compensate for the costs of responding to gun violence.
This comes just two weeks after a gunman opened fire at the VTA rail yard in San Jose killing nine of his coworkers.
