We can fix the gun problem and make America safer without an expensive, dangerous, and futile “War on Guns.”
To solve the problem of keeping guns out of the wrong hands we must use an idea that limits losses from many other hazards: insurance.
Mandatory insurance makes people be responsible for choices that impose risks on others. We must require gun owners at any instant (maker, seller or buyer) have liability insurance to cover any harms that weapon causes.
Total bull crap opinion piece
How can anyone in their right mind think that gang bangers or anyone doing any illegal act will think twice before pulling a gun if they are uninsured??????

That's ridiculous on a number of levels chiefly career criminals and other associated scumbags aren't going to buy gun insurance as you noted.
Also insurance roles would be a store of data that LEOs and the feds would not be able to leave alone.

You answered your own question. Those who advocate idiotic ideas like this aren't in their right mind.
IMO that's not it. They want good people disarmed or significantly encumbered vis a vis firearms and they are willing to do so incrementally.
The higher powers, yes. I don't think the average voter, however, has nefarious motives. They truly believe that gun control is the answer, despite any argument to the contrary.

If they believe in limiting freedom, then they are indeed nefarious.
"Truly believing" in gun control means "truly believing" in abridging a natural individual right which means "truly believing" something totally nefarious by definition.
You either believe in the natural rights of the individual, or you don't. There is no middle ground.
Car insurance laws are tyranny? It seems to me that the arguments for requiring owner to insure motor vehicles would apply also to a firearm, or indeed any product that becomes deadly if aimed improperly.

Yes, mandatory car insurance is tyranny. The government telling you that you need to satisfy their requirements before engaging in individual behavior that does not initiate force is a bullet point in the definition of tyranny.
If you seek to protect yourself from others, then you should have insurance. If you seek to mitigate the financial costs should you inadvertently harm someone else, then you should have insurance. But insurance itself should not be mandatory to be "allowed" to drive a car.
Yes, I know my black and white position on natural rights and government invoking mandatory this and that seems extreme, but logical consistency seems extreme to people with little to no experience in it.
