Amid an increase in gun violence across the nation, officials are struggling to understand why it's happening and what to do about it.
The city of San Jose recently took a unique — and certainly controversial — step, passing an ordinance that requires most gun owners to pay fees and carry liability insurance.
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said he believes the new law will help reduce shootings and offset public costs of gun violence. Lower premiums for those with gun safes, trigger locks and who have completed gun safety classes are expected to incentivize safer behavior, according to CNN.
