Poll tax. Lefties love to charge people for their rights.

The “D.C. Council” sounds as though they all may be heavily into recreational drugs.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Are criminals required to have gun insurance?

The legal precident was set for this long ago with auto-insurance, more recently Obama-care,
But just payback is inventing similar measures for those running places that perform, or want abortions, in red states. Or same sex marriage if it becomes a Federal right.
Abortions and gays to libs is like gun rights to us.

has the NRA ever been harassed by the IRS? Has pro 2nd Amendment organizations been harassed and wire tapped? There is soooo much more that has to be accounted for...

So is Obamacare, but that didn’t stop the SCOTUS from allowing it.
Insurance, in general, is NOT mandatory. Banks won’t give you a mortgage without homeowner’s insurance, but if you own your home, you don’t have to have it.
Most states won’t give you a DL or registration without auto insurance, but that doesn’t stop a 12 year old from getting behind the wheel and driving.
Not everyone has health insurance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go to the ER if you have a heart attack. You’ll just have to pay the hospital for services rendered, as is customary with any service provider.
Insurance is a freaking racket.

Nice try, libs. Too bad for you that the current mood brought on by the thuggish/dictatorial behavior of ‘The Won’ is going to put a chill on rat pipe-dreams for the foreseeable future.

So I’m guessing that maybe 4 or 5 folks in DC will fall under this scheme. (Emily Miller, this means you.) Except of course the baddies. Probably the same clowns that drive with no auto insurance too.

How much liability insurance does DC require that its abortionists purchase?
Just askin’
To: E. Pluribus Unum
You’re right, it is equivalent to a poll tax. But that has been ruled unconstitutional. I wonder if the SC will have the balls and ovaries to rule correctly when this comes up in a case.

Maybe those FATHEADS in DC need to carry $250,000 of LIBEL insurance for every time they exercise their 1st amendment rights when they open their traps to libel someone.

It's usually covered by homeowner's insurance or renter's insurance. The NRA sells policies which seem overpriced for what they are.
But if I were an insurance company, I'd still red-line the entire District of Columbia, which is home to about 80,000 lawyers. (Seriously. The District of Columbia Bar claims 91,685 members.)

All government employees should have to carry $250K malfeasance insurance, with the premiums coming out of their paycheck.
And those premiums will be based on risk - especially if the agent has previous complaints.

If this is found to be Constitutional, every Red State should respond by requiring a $10,000,000 insurance requirement for:
- Each woman getting an abortion
- Each reporter, in case they libel or slander someone
- Each bodyguard that enters the state
- Smart cars, due to danger to occupants
- Coexist bumber stickers, in case they incite road rage
- Unions, in case they engage in thuggery

1. We don't have a Constitution. The sooner we stop pretending we do, the sooner we can have one again.
2. If we were to assume that we did currently have a Constitution, it has already been determined that it IS constitutional to force someone to purchase insurance to enjoy a God given right (life=>bear arms).
