CA Democrats Push Bill Requiring Insurers to Rat out Homeowners Who Own Guns

A bill introduced on Friday by California Assembly Member Mike Gipson (D) proposes that insurance companies furnish lawmakers with an annual report identifying homeowners with guns in their residence.

The bill, AB 3067, stipulates: “This bill would require an insurer, by January 1, 2026, to include questions on an application for homeowners’ or renters’ insurance seeking specified information regarding the presence and storage of any firearms kept in the household, accessory structures, or vehicles kept on the property subject to any applicable insurance policy.”

It further outlines: “The bill would require an insurer to annually report this information to the Department of Insurance and the Legislature beginning on January 1, 2027, and would prohibit the inclusion of confidential identifying information in the report.”

The bill then delineates specific instructions that insurers must follow to gather the information sought by Assembly Member Gipson and his principal co-author, state Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D):

In addition to existing regulations, an application for homeowners’ or renters’ insurance shall include questions regarding all of the following:

(1) Whether there are firearms kept in the household, including in any accessory structures, and if so, how many.

(2) Whether the firearm, if any, is stored in a locked container in the home, including any accessory structures, while not in use.

(3) The number of firearms kept in a vehicle located on the property subject to the applicable insurance policy, and if any, whether they are stored securely in a locked container while not in use.


AB 3067 is currently awaiting referral to a committee for further consideration.

What We Know About the CIA’s Midcentury Mind-Control Project

  Unveiling MKUltra: The CIA's Secret Mind-Control Experimentation On April 13, 1953, during the height of the Cold War, the CIA launched Project MKUltra, a covert initiative designed to explore mind-control techniques. As the United States sought to gain an edge in psychological warfare, MKUltra became a deeply secretive and ethically questionable endeavor. With its experiments ranging from the bizarre to the grotesque, the program cast a long shadow over American intelligence practices and left an indelible mark on history. What the CIA Secretly Planted in Your Phone to Control You (It Happens To You Everyday) The Origins and Scope of MKUltra Project MKUltra was far-reaching, encompassing 162 secret initiatives that were indirectly funded by the CIA. These projects were outsourced to universities, research institutions, and foundations, many of which were unaware of their connection to the CIA. According to Smithsonian Magazine , this intricate web of covert operations aimed to t...

 NJ Sheriff's Thermal Cameras Caught Something Shocking When Tracking These Mystery Drones In recent weeks, New Jersey has experienced a surge in mysterious drone sightings, prompting local law enforcement to take action. The Ocean County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Michael Mastronardy, has been at the forefront of these efforts, deploying their own drones equipped with thermal imaging to investigate these unidentified aerial phenomena. Deployment of Thermal Imaging Drones The Sheriff's Office has utilized industrial-grade drones outfitted with thermal cameras to detect and track the mysterious drones. These thermal imaging devices are capable of detecting heat signatures, allowing officers to monitor drone activity even in low-visibility conditions. During one operation, the Sheriff's drone unit observed an unidentified object flying low and fast, capturing it on video. Sgt. Kevin Fennessy noted, "We saw something flying a little low... Definitely something f...

The Earth's magnetic north pole is moving, and its pace has increased significantly over the past few decades, creating potential challenges for navigation systems worldwide.

Image
This phenomenon is not science fiction but a real and measurable shift with critical implications for technology and everyday life. What Is the Magnetic North Pole? The Earth has two "North Poles": Geographic North Pole : The fixed axis around which the Earth rotates, located in the Arctic Ocean. Magnetic North Pole : The point where the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downward. This is the location compasses use to find "north." Unlike the geographic pole, the magnetic north pole is not stationary and has historically wandered at a gradual pace. The Accelerated Shift Until the 1990s, the magnetic north pole was moving at a rate of about 10-15 kilometers (6-9 miles) per year. Since then, its movement has accelerated to roughly 50-60 kilometers (30-37 miles) per year, heading from the Canadian Arctic towards Siberia. This rapid shift has scientists intrigued, as such significant changes in the Earth's magnetic field are rare. Why Is It Happening? The...
