The authors maybe should have reorganized a bit to explain the "first-in-the-nation" requirements on gun owners?

Agreed. Yet another misleading headline.

Could have been the editor's doing. Imagine the editor facing tight time deadlines and looking for something as both attention-grabbing and concise as possible. That is the day to day of daily media. Anybody who expects perfection is unfamiliar with the process.

This Silicon Valley city just voted to institute first-in-the-nation gun ownership requirements

Bit:
Under San Jose's measure, gun owners would be charged an annual US$25 fee directed to a nonprofit set up to distribute funds to gun crime prevention and to victims of gun violence. The measure also would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance that would cover damage caused by their weapon.

—————————-

Counter-intuitive perhaps, then the parallel to auto insurance is a good one.

Won't please the God Given Right to Impose Costs on Others crowd.
