Lawmakers in at least four states are pushing bills to force gun owners to register with, and buy liability insurance from, casualty insurers.
So far, politicians have proposed imposing these mandates through state laws in Hawaii, New Hampshire and New York, and through city ordinance in Los Angeles.
The bills are similar to legislation proposed last year in Congress by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., whose "Firearm Risk Protection Act" would require gun owners to provide proof of liability insurance before purchasing a firearm and subject gun owners who fail to maintain insurance to fines up to $10,000, Insurance Business America reports.
The New Hampshire bill, introduced by Democrat state Rep. Katherine Rogers, requires not only firearm purchasers but also sellers and owners of firearms to maintain liability insurance. Violators would face fines of up to $10,000.

When does the LIB-loser idiocy end? Pretty soon I’ll need insurance for the aluminum little league baseball bats with large spikes sticking out of them...
Sounds like a Gun Registration scheme to me!
Sounds like an “infringement” to me. Democraps need to take a course in English comprehension.
Was that for theft coverage or liability?
Theft coverage. My guns are secured in safes so liability is not a big issue.
Here’s what later turned me off about USAA & their nosy questions: I had a gun that was stolen from a friend’s car (three of his own were taken as well). I had the free NRA member’s policy covering stolen firearms; all the NRA rep needed was a police report with the serial number, & they paid off.
This current political offensive to require gun owners to buy liability insurance AND list all their guns is more back door registration. The bastards who push this fascism are engaging in the same class warfare as before; guns owners are the class enemy & enemies of the state.
Let me guess, LEO’S are exempted. Am I right?
This is backdoor registration, nothing more. In a just world, whoever attempted to enact such a law would be found guilty of treason (levying war against the people by attempting to disarm them, and attacking the Constitution) and executed not long afterward.
