Then they would be wrong in any other civilised nation.

The current situation in the US when viewed from the outside is legalised barbarism frankly :(

And your 1.5 milllion needless violent civilian deaths in the last 50 years proves it ...... right ? :doh

No, not insurance in case someone steals your gun.
What about gun owner liability insurance? Arguably, a gun and a car are both tools that can be misused by people to injure or kill other people. We are required by law to have liability auto insurance for that very reason. What about passing legislation requiring owners of guns to hold liability gun insurance?

Already been discussed, and dismissed because it is another leverage point for anti-gunners to price gun ownership out of the reach of ordinary people.


Also not comparable to cars. You don't have to have insurance on a car unless you drive it on public roads. If it never leaves your property, no insurance is required.

If we executed more convicts, most gun murders wouldn't happen.

Had Devin Kelley been in prison, where he belonged, the Sutherland Springs church house shooting wouldn't have happened.

But you already incarcerate a greater percentage of your people than any other country on earth (even the hardline dictatorships) so obviously that isn't working. :wink:

Your solution is killing even more people ? :shock:

We have millions of illegal aliens in this country. Of course we have more people in jail. We also have over 320 million people.

We need to execute more convicts and seal the border. The numbers would go way down.

So increasing the rate you kill is a solution then even if the state does it ?

You live in a country with the third highest crime rate in the world. I'm glad I don't live there, too.

And where is it you think these gangs get the vast majority of their guns in the first place ?

Fast and Furious?:lol:

A lot of gang members do not have felonies and make a lot of money legally buying guns and selling them to other gang members or trading them for drugs. Everyone is under the impression all these gang members are felons on the FBI top ten list. In reality most may have misdemeanors but can legally purchase weapons. I have seen a lot of gang members open carry and are legal. A lot of times by the time they finally get their first felony they own a lot of guns. When they get out of prison their brothers in the gang simply give them back all their guns. Their is more honor and trust among these gang members than in DC.

Of course its feasable and in my view should be mandatory for each and every weapon owned :roll:

that's because you are on record wanting to do everything possible to harass lawful gun ownership in the USA. and since you are apparently clueless about insurance here in the states-insurance companies don't usually cover intentional criminal acts

Wrong. If you intentionally run someone over your insurance pays their bills

Maybe we should require liability insurance when you drink or use drugs.
You can not do either unless you have insurance to pay for the damage
you might cause.

There is a simple solution for criminals who use firearms. A mandatory 50 years
jail sentence. To be served in a different state then your home state.
There will be a massive drop in firearm related crime if this was law.

Florida is a "10 - 20 - life" state. Commit a felony with a gun, 10. Shoot, 20. Shoot someone (regardless of the extent of injury), life. Minimum mandatory (no parole).

And your on the record as putting guns above all else as the many tens of thousands of your almost identical posts on this one issue clearly illustrate

It's nobody's business. Why not just make it a law that everyone has to list every sexual partner, by name, and make that list public?

And where is it you think these gangs get the vast majority of their guns in the first place ?

The same places they'd get them if honest gun owners were forced to list all their weapons and insure them against a crime committed by someone who buys the gun someone else stole from them.

In no case is the gun owner responsible. The thief is. The gang banger that shoots another person is.

All in all, this is just a lame, worthless idea that would serve no purpose other than to lean on honest gun owners for the actions criminals take.

Not according to the insurance industry itself:

“Liability coverage is designed to protect against accidental damages, most of which involving guns would be covered under a homeowner’s insurance policy. While some policies may provide coverage for liability stemming from the intentional use of a firearm for defensive purposes, no liability insurance product covers intentional acts of malicious violence, whether committed with a gun, a car, or any other instrument that is used as a weapon to deliberately harm people,” said Grande. “It is inconceivable that any insurer would offer such coverage, either as part of a homeowners or renters policy or on a stand-alone basis.”
