As the gun debate heats up, one idea seems particularly suited for Connecticut to consider: liability insurance for gun owners.
This is the kind of mandatory insurance you have to get to drive a car — and the kind of protection that costs more if you want to take what the industry knows is a calculated risk. Letting your teenager get behind the wheel is a good example.

There are 2,453 SIDS deaths per 100,000 children in the U.S. on average. There are 2,186 firearm related homocides per 100,000 children aged 0 - 19. Based upon this statistic alone, since we must save at least one child’s life, there should be liability insurance mandated for anyone who has children.
bump for later
Yeah, never seen a guy out in the woods that looks like that. Why do they all wear those kind of glasses?
I already have my own gun liability insurance..... I built it myself and I call it my “gun range”.
In the event that I was called as a juror for a civil trial in a firearms lawsuit, I would do my duty as an American on the jury. Nullification can be a moral obligation.
The best liability insurance is to not leave any witnesses or survivors.
Touché.
And liability insurance for “journalists,” meaning people who write for state-controlled media.
It would make much more sense to create a new “security tax” on those who do not purchase a firearm and remain proficient in the use of that firearm for their own self defense. How about a tax break for those who get a CC permit?
If some stupid liability insurance requirement is put into law, I would expect that the NRA and other organizations would negotiate policies and use them as a membership development tool.
So Dem's, while I will oppose such liability insurance (as I already have an extra blanket liability policy in place), this could be the best thing ever to build NRA membership.

how many other constutional rights require insuruance?
oh yes, women now have to pay for abortion insurance.
seriously, this insurance is about justifying the oversupply of LAW SCHOOLS.
how about mandatory “lawyer on retainer” insurance?
how about mandatory “quartering” insurance? incase the government has to abolish the third amendment.
heck how about bill of rights insurance incase you misuse rights. ie vote for the wrong person....
Yep. LOL
I am so darn responsible that I bought a new weapon light for Remington 870. I have been building the shotgun into a home defense gun this month.
The light arrived yesterday and I love it, love it, love it.

I have an Akita dog, and I was refused an umbrella policy. Besides the breed discrimination, do you think your umbrella policy recognizes liability of people who steal your guns?
You allow civil cases to be brought wherein someone has his ass sued off because a gun he legally owned was stolen and used to harm someone.
Then you allow insurance companies to sell gun insurance as a helpful service. Then you let it be known that if you don't have gun insurance a successful civil case can end up losing you everything you own including your home.
Then you quietly pass a law that makes it mandatory all Insurance companies must comply with the New Insurance laws and you bury the clause about turning over all gun ownership records in addendum 748 in section 2276 of the Saving the world for the Children and Rainbows and Candy Canes Insurance act of 2013.
