Sounds to me that the public official proposing this receives money from the Insurance lobby... Follow the money and behold the truth!Comment

Obamacare was a tax on a constitutional right, and it was upheld by SCOTUS.Comment

Not really. It was just a tax increase paired with a tax credit for people that by insurance. No more or less constitutional than all the other tax based incentives.
Not that I like it...
I also despise mandatory car insurance. Which should be illegal, because cars are how we travel, and travel is a right.Comment

The difference between this and car insurance is the insurance companies don't tell you how to store your car and when you can and can't drive if you want cheap coverage.
On the other hand though, I know it won't be like this buuuut, insurance could help out gun owners. What if they cover damage to your gun? You drop it or have a bullet blow up in it, they cover the repair cost or replace the rifle. Most companies cover it if it's stolen so that won't matter. If you do need to use the gun to defend your home and the family sues you, this insurance could cover you.
Like I said, I doubt this is how it will work out for the gun owners. However it's something to think about.Comment

Stupid Us is more like it.
Certainly the politicians can't directly stop us gun owners from doing as we please. That being said, have you ever tried to convince someone in the UK to go to the range?
Its a trick question, because doing so would be illegal. In order to touch a gun in some parts of the country you'd need your own ownership permit, whether or not you actually have a gun to begin with.
That ultimately is the goal of laws like this. As guys like us turn into grey haired old codgers and die off, so will our institutional knowledge of what it means to be a free man with legally owned arms. You can't take newbies to the range if doing so requires a 6 month background check and certified liability insurance. Once that happens, the next generation will be denied the education of liberty we know today, and the ultimate goal of the Socialists can be realized. They then can pass whatever gun control laws they feel the whim to propose, because no one will be around to say they're wrong.
The only way to halt the progression is to stop the train before it leaves the station.The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be.
The more subsidies you have, the less self reliant people will be.

The more they overreach, the better for us. It's much easier striking down a law that goes too far, then one that is close to the line and incremental in nature.
A bonus is that when all these laws start collapsing, they will shut that particular door forever. It's same as it was with the overreaching abortion laws: the more they are passed, the stronger the case *against* them.sigpicNRA Benefactor MemberComment

Finally, a law which prevents BOTH keeping AND bearing. Well done.

The Second Amendment is the one right that is so fundamental that the inability to exercise it, should the need arise, would render all other rights null and void. Dead people have no rights.

"Gun Owners are the new N-word" should be the hue and cry.
Disparate Impact is one of the bludgeons used by the Left to force laws like Affirmative Action and Race-Based Quotas down the throats of the American people.
It's a little more complicated than that: The money forfeited by a citizen who chooses not to purchase health insurance was determined to be a tax, and not a fee, since they were not receiving goods or services directly from the exchange of funds.
There's a few lawsuits rolling through the court system to determine the Constitutionality of forcing someone to purchase something as a condition of citizenship.Rule #1: Keep your booger hook off the bang-switch!
