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.

There needs to be a companion bill requiring homosexuals to have liability insurance or face a fine. Hopefully inserted into a big appropriations bill in the middle of the night, anonymously.

Imagine the hilarity if it was passed and signed by Obama.

As mentioned in a related thread …

A so-called federal requirement for gun owners to have liability insurance is unconstitutional for the same reason that Obamacare-mandated health insurance is unconstitutional imo.

More specifically, the Supreme Court had clarified in Paul v. Virginia that insurance is a contract, not commerce, regardless if the parties negotiating contract are in different states. So regardless what FDR’s thug justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers, the feds have no constitutional authority to regulate intrastate insurance of any kind imo.

”4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce [emphasis added] within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss.” — Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)

i think you’d have to pose that question to the politician in NY who floated the idea. don’t expect a reasonable, logical answer though.

Yeh that’ll happen. Not. Be more concerned about the EPA filling in your goldfish pond in your yard.

I wonder which insurance companies just donated money to the senators who proposed this legislation?

This so called Law will never see the light of day...

The House and Senate are Republican controlled and anyone voting for this will be replace and quickly.

This is another scam for Insurance businesses...just like auto, home, life, medical and any other insurance..you think you have coverage until you need to use it...

WAKE UP VOTERS...THE LADY WHO ENTERED THIS IS FROM NEW YORK...ENOUGH SAID AND SHE IS A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT...

Unconstitutional. It violates the 2nd Amendment, and violates the 14th by restricting ownership of firearms to the rich.
