Should gun owners be required to buy insurance?[W:324]

TurtleDude said:
except what you apparently are ignorant about is that insurance doesn't cover intentional acts

and you want those who cause extremely few issues per capita to pay for the huge amount of damages paid for by those who cause lots of damage per person

honest gun owners are over 80 million but cause little harm

those who commit most of the crimes are felons with guns and they won't buy insurance

I think those who wet themselves over others owning guns should be taxed to pay for the harm.

Always glad to agree with you on gun issues.

Then his or her estate can be sued. You can keep crawling down this rabbit hole, but it's been shown that insurance is a non-starter. Would we also need knife insurance for stabbings and penis insurance for rapes?

Penis insurance. What an interesting thought.

Oh Bucky. Even though there is nothing in your comments to admire regarding wisdom, we can at least admire your persistence.

Have you not learned anything over the last say...12 months? I mean forget about the basic foolishness of your idea. Forget about the stark reality that you propose to punish120 million law abiing citizens over the acts literally a handful of that group. Forget about the stupidity of calling for a tax on individuals to exercise god given rights and restrictions placed on the government. Forget about the obvious attack on poor individuals that would be defenseless because they cant pay your tax.

Set all of that aside for a second.

If you have learned anything the last several months, you will have learned that idiotic cause driven measures never stop. Mindless ****heads weep and wail and protest against the COnfederate flag. Then just a few months later...the stars and stripes are targetted for ridicule and hatred. Those some mindless cause driven twats clamor for attempting to erase history and promote their own ugly brand of hatred by attacking confederate statues and monuments. Sure enough...immediately afterward they attacked Jefferson...Washington...Adams. President Wilson managed to find himself in their crosshairs as did both Presidents Roosevelt. Tear them down. Tear them all down.

What makes you think it would stop at your foolish proposal? Next comes the 1st Amendment. pay for your right to religiously worship or maintain values because some other delicate **** is going to have their feelings hurt. Pay for your right to speak, because...golly...words invade their safe spaces and cause impotent little ****s to have meltdowns. Pay not just for the equipment and access but for your right to post on a site like this because words matter and someone reading comments might get offended.

You arent thinking...any of this through.

Which confirms my earlier statement that some here want the innocent victim to assume all the risk.

And if there is no decent size estate to be sued?

IMO yes. It should be mandatory just like how driver's are required to own insurance before getting behind the wheel.

I feel bad for the victims of gun violence. Many of them will be unable to pay their medical bills. The cost of recovery is staggering - from loss of quality of life, medical bills, drugs, physical therapy, etc.. And was any of this their fault?

IMO it should be 500k-1 million in coverage which equates to about $50-100 a month.

Why do you want poor people to be unable to afford the means to defend their family? Is this some kind of racist plot?

Im sure in the adult entertainment industry it may be appropriate.....there are many dancers that have their legs insured.

From Lloyds Of London:


Legs: Betty Grable was the first to make news about insuring her famous legs. Others include dancers Rudolph Nureyev and Michael Flatley and soccer's David Beckham.
Breasts: Dolly Parton insured her ample bosom.
Hands: Guitarist Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones
Taste buds: Food critic Egon Ronay
Smile or teeth: Ken Dodd, and America Ferrera, whose smile was insured by Aquafresh White Trays
Mustache: Australian cricket player Merv Hughes

It has nothing to do with as I see fit. It has to do with reality. Some here are asking innocent victims to assume all the risk.

The insurance companies will not insure for that risk. What's your solution? Single payer government paid insurance?

You're asking for the innocent and legal firearm owners to assume the risk. What's te edifference?? Neither has done anything wrong, yet you choose to punish one group for the simple act of exercising their rights.

Drivers aren't required to buy insurance in Va. But it's apples and oranges. A better comparison would the 2nd vs the 1st, 3rd, or 4th.

Apparently some want all the risk to be assumed by the members of the American public and not that of the gun owner.

Sounds like Obamacare.

Legal car owners get insurance assuming risk involved in the property they own..

Legal home owners get insurance assuming risk involved in the property they own.

Legal gun owners should get insurance assuming risk involved in the property they own.

Using your logic:

Legal knife owners should get insurance assuming risk involved in the property they own.
Legal baseball bat owners should get insurance assuming risk involved in the property they own.

At what point does it become ridiculous to demand insurance? Bottom line, good law abiding people don't go out and kill or harm people.

I see no need in what the OP stated.

Those aren't rights. Would you support forcing who want to speak publicly to have insurance for the results of what they say?? Would you support forcing to buy insurance for the results of how they vote?

The. Insurance. Companies. Won't. Pay. For. Homicides. Or. Suicides.

What will it take for you to internalize this?
