Maloney said in a statement:
“We require insurance to own a car, but no such requirement exists for guns,
The results are clear, car fatalities have declined by 25 percent in the last decade,
but gun fatalities continue to rise.”
-
And no one bothered to ask how having liability insurance
on our cars relates to having fewer car fatalities?

Simply playing very loose with definitions and logic. Fatal Gun accident rates have been reduced by 94% over the last 80 years, without requiring insurance. Insurance does not cover intentional acts.

Fatal car accident rates, with insurance, have not been reduced nearly as much.

ok, let’s go down that rabbithole...

homosexuals have a high incidence of AIDS. AIDS kills. therefore all homosexuals MUST have liability insurance before engaging in buggery.

hip hop (rap) music is the music of choice of gang bangers. gang bangers murder lots of people. therefore anyone wanting to purchase/listen to hip hop (rap) music MUST have liability insurance.

in the name of atheism/secular humanism/islam, untold millions of people have been murdered. therefore atheists/secular humanists/muslims MUST have liability insurance.

etc.

when you make a tenuous argument like that moron in NY, it’s not too hard to extend it ad absurdum.
