House Democrat Rep. Carolyn Maloney (N.Y.) has introduced a bill that would require gun owners to carry liability insurance.
The Firearm Risk Protection Act, unveiled Friday, would require gun buyers to have liability insurance coverage before being allowed to purchase a weapon, and would impose a fine of $10,000 if an owner is found not to have it. Service members and law enforcement officers, however, would be exempt from the requirement.

Placing additional burdens on the exercise of a right is the definition of infringement.

Unconstitutional. This commie bitch needs to be thrown in prison where she belongs.

As long as we’re at it, we should require everyone to have “Thug Insurance”... just in case we decide to engage in government-approved, violent demonstrations.

Hey lady, remember the 2nd Amendment?
Those rights shall not be infringed upon. Most guns are owned by law-abiding citizens exercising their rights under the Constitution. They don't need liability insurance anymore than Congress Critters need a pay raise.
Why not require criminals to have liability insurance and fine them if they don't? They're the ones that cause all the problems with guns. Leave the rest of us alone and do something productive and constructive with your time in the Congress besides trying to make it harder for citizens to own guns.

What about the thugs?
Will they be fined $10,000 if they have an unlicensed firearm?

Should this pass - which it won’t - then every licensed & insured gun owner should automatically have “open carry” rights nationwide, regardless of state law.

One of the benefits of NRA membership is insurance. This bill could swell the membership of the NRA to ten times its current size.
Interesting.

If you have a homeowner or a renter policy you already have liability insurance.
