We require insurance to own a car No we don't. We require insurance to drive on public roads, not to own a vehicle or drive it on private property.

Can we please require criminals to have insurance as well?

I’m sure most ‘gang-bangers’ and criminals are going to run like the Flash to the nearest insurance agency and buy a policy after the law is passed.

And car insurance is required at the STATE level, where it belongs.

... a bill that would require gun owners to carry liability insurance ...
The requirement is "infringement".

"The results are clear: car fatalities have declined by 25 percent in the last decade, but gun fatalities continue to rise. Ignorance, or barefaced lie?

If we need insurance for a 2nd Amendment right, then we also need:
- Abortion liability insurance for anyone seeking an abortion or associated with providing one.
- Media liability insurance for all members of the press.
- ...etc....

I think congress-critters should have to buy their own liability insurance. I think they should not be prevented from entering office until they show they have prepaid coverage for the entire term to which they have been elected plus twenty years.

we the people need some insurance to protect us form illegal actions by our elected. Maybe the politicians should have some performance bonding like some companies.
I support a two term system in politics but I want the second term to be in prison.

Well, she IS from New York. There’s no telling what kind of draconian insurance laws they have in her state.

Demonicrat politicans should be required to have liability insurance to cover the damage to citizens when the politicians commit treason.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
She's comparing the guns Americans keep in their homes to the cars they drive on public streets?
This dingbat should be drug tested.

So you really do end up with a national gun registry. It’s just held and maintained by the insurance companies. Which will trip all over themselves to send it in when the first subponea hits.
On top of that, what happens when the insurance companies decline to provide coverage? Or jack up rates to the point where it becomes cost prohibitive for the average person to own a gun?
This woman, btw, isn’t an idiot. She just thinks the rest of us are.

We require insurance to own a car, but no such requirement exists for guns," Maloney said in a statement. "The results are clear: car fatalities have declined by 25 percent in the last decade, but gun fatalities continue to rise. omg. The stupid, it hurts! Car fatalities have NOT declined because of insurance. Automobile insurance has been around a LOT longer than "the last decade."
How about improved vehicle design or more seat belt use . . . anything but insurance premiums. Seriously, how is it possible for someone to be so dumb?

We should require Congressites to have liability insurance for the crap they pull. Oh yeah, I guess it’s called “immunity”.
