politicans want mandatory insurance on guns

No idea how they can possibly price that, but not surprising either. They already underwrite for any number of behaviors, hobbies, pools, trampolines etc.

Required gun liability insurance is a sly way to get gun registry.

There is going to be a record for legally purchased guns. So don't try to turn this into something it's not.

What is needed is an assessment of the cost of guns on those who put them into the stream of commerce. So, you can either require the gun manufacturers to pay for the injuries caused by their products, or require insurance by the purchaser.

I prefer the latter. I think it's cleaner and would overall be cheaper. But if instead you prefer that there be strict product liability for manufacturers, I'm willing to listen.

Yeah let's skip the obvious step of making the shooter pay for some other convoluted money grab

Pssst, I know you have zero clue about what's on the books already, but that happens to be illegal.

And furthermore, if gun manufacturers can be held liable, why wouldn't Ford, Chevy, Toyota, etc be held liable if someone drives recklessly and kills someone?

How about personal responsibility? I think more & more responsible people get guns just to oppose idiotic views like yours.

If you were honest about this idea, you would admit your support (and the support of Big Legal) is to enrich those in the legal system.

There is a record of the initial purchase on all legally purchased weapons. After that good luck attempting to trace the next and next owners. This is just a veiled attempt at universal registration.

I'm aware. I'm saying change the law and make them strictly liable. Or, make the purchaser buy insurance.

We've discussed many times the difference between guns and cars. But in addition to prior points I'd not that in fact you have to have insurance for your car. In case you hurt someone. So there's that.

What criteria would underwriters use to set premiums? I guess everyone's would be the same because if there's any "blips" on your record chances are you're not gonna legally own a gun. I guess there's always illegally. So many problems solved. Lol
