This exists. Personal and commercial liability insurance.
Insurance companies would write liability insurance policies for firearm owners. They would be highly profitable writing them. Also, if it were required, then it's a slam dunk for the insurers - a guaranteed market.Last edited by R19; 04-02-2013, 11:27 AM.You want to sit on the sideline and watch or do you want to play ball? - Tom Buchanan

Aside from the fact that no insurance will write a policy for willful acts (as most of the proposed bills seem to insist), there is another issue with requiring insurance.
Many people say that the entire field of medical malpractice has evolved because there is so much insurance money to make it a profitable field. If gun owners are all wandering around with millions of dollars in "easy money", there will be zero chance that any issue surrounding a firearm doesn't end up in court.
As it is now too many families of criminals will sue the victim of the crime for protecting himself/herself, but many lawyers won't take the case if there's nothing to collect. Imagine if EVERY case had a huge pot of gold at the end of the shakedown...'er I mean rainbow.Last edited by Wherryj; 04-02-2013, 11:40 AM."What is a moderate interpretation of the text?

..except that pretty much EVERY one of the proposed laws has willful acts listed as requiring insurance.
How much do you think a home owners' policy that covers the home owner's arson would cost? Auto insurance that also pays if you intentionally drive into a bus stop? Such policies don't exist."What is a moderate interpretation of the text? Halfway between what it really means and what you'd like it to mean?"

How about voters insurance, so when the voters do something incredibly stupid (again) we get a check.

Its just another way to ban guns via the end run process.
Like (illegally)driving around rush hour traffic in the breakdown lane, the antis are using the insurance business as a fulcrum to get theirs at our expense-literally.
Eventually Homo Hoplophobicus will get around to requiring each gun you own have a separate entry on a listed insurance policy, much like vehicles are today. Naturally doing so won't be free, and various risk factors like having kids in the home, localized crime rates, and the age of the owner and his/her criminal and credit score will be used to compute an expensive premium.
The effect? People will sell and surrender their guns if the insurance "tax" is too much to bear. Our pastime is not the cheapest as it is, to say nothing of what happens when the insurance adjuster sends you a $250 monthly bill to insure 2 pistols. Add another one, and now you must consider how much higher your rate will be.
To illustrate the endgame, look at car insurance. I bought the car I have now because the one I truly wanted was simply too expensive to insure-and I couldn't legally own it without car insurance, so that was that. This is what the antis want: a generation of people disarmed because they cant afford to exercise their rights.The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be.
The more subsidies you have, the less self reliant people will be.

Maloney is full of baloney. I looked up a picture of her and it cracked my screen. Don't try it, she really does need some serious cosmetic work done.

$10k penalty for owning a gun without this proposed insurance, but 0bamacare will only charge you $695 per person to $2,085 per family in 2016, when fully phased in, if you fail to get medical insurance. Makes perfect sense to me...
