Common sense. Would any insurance company sell a policy to Paddock who legally bought 33 weapons?
Why not, people have that many cars.


Ok, let's run with this fantasy. Are the Police going to pull everyone over and demand to see papers?

We have millions of illegals driving here and we can't even legally arrest them for no license, registration or insurance.

The NRA wants you have to shootouts between "good" and "bad" guys. If they make everyone think everyone needs a gun good or bad, then everyone goes buys a gun and increases their profits.

Are you really that stupid to not figure it out by now?
Good point. So in your honor, I'm buying that S&W Sport 2.0 for $500 on sale. Bring it up again and I'll buy two and sell the other. You won't win this.

Gun insurance doesn't contradict the 2nd amendment. Neither does it affect the right to own any gun. It only deters those high risk group from owning weapons that may cause mass shooting.

Right, because the more efficient option (ie guns) still are in play. Simple...the entire point of my strawman was the removal of the preceding item as an option.

Good luck collecting. What is awarded and what is received are often solar systems apart sans the lawyers. How many found guilty of a negligent homocide have a pot to p*** in let alone the insurance to cover you.

It's a world gone mad, eh?

Anyone who buys guns needs to get approval from insurance company right away on the spot. Otherwise the gun shop owner can deny the sale.

Won't do much good. You can do the same thing with a rubber band.

Of course, gun insurance is not perfect. But so far most mass murderers acquired their weapons legally. If there were gun insurance requirement, there wouldn't be so many fatalities.

[quote So you ban the AR-15, will it even slow down mass shootings? [/b][/quote]

Won't know until do! Contact your congressman and vote for those who support sensible gun measures and who are not purchased by the NRA..
