These people are relentless.
What they really want, and what "gun insurance" amounts to is registration which always leads to...
...say it with me...
...confiscation.
the insurance companies are all looking to help. LOL
This is the reason why you need to kill criminals and not injure. To do that you need gun control ... of the accuracy variety.
The Governor of New York made a fool of himself by signing legislation attempting an end run.
The fools are assuming people will give a damn about their pitiful efforts and follow the law.
Because gooberment interference in the health insurance industry has worked out so well. /s
Reproduction is an unalienable human right and there is a tremendous correlation between criminal behavior of children raised in a household without a strong male presence.
Since far more murders are committed with hands, fists and knives, it would seem that if any insurance is up for discussion, it would seem that requiring conception and child-raising insurance should be required before any copulation is permitted would yield far better social benefits.
The goal here is VERY SIMPLE, and that is to increase the opportunity cost of gun ownership on law-abiding people.
For good people, the cost is a big factor. In other words, why spend an extra $1,000 and fill out all this paperwork for a weapon that you very likely will never need (i.e., I suspect that 95% of law-abiding people never have to display or use their weapon for protection).
For bad people, opportunity cost is simply NOT a factor. You buy the weapon to rob people or businesses (or kill, or whatever)...so you know its value right off and you know it will be used - it often pays for itself the first time used.
So you price-out the good people - and gun ownership drops from 50% to, maybe, 15%. At that point, you confiscate...since there are not enough owners to fight back, as happened in many other countries.
That is why we fight EVERYTHING that makes gun ownership more difficult - our rights are ONLY protected by our numbers, once we’re decreased, it’s simply GAME OVER, at some point...likely sooner than later.
Ah, it’s the invincible, invulnerable insurance racket again: a necessary part of New Rome.
No. Taxing something that is a fundamental God given RIGHT is wrong. What would be next? Taxing free speech?
Somehow, I don’t think criminals buy insurance any more than they comply with gun control laws.
