People have liability insurance for their cars. Homeowners often have liability insurance for their swimming pools. I don't think it's that uncommon.
@LauraTXNM What would the purpose of the insurance to be other than increase the cost of exercising a Constitutionally protected right?
Would insurance have paid for this guys actions? Would it have stopped him? If I legally use my firearm for self defense should my insurance have to pay for the attackers injuries?
What insurance company would sell policies under these circumstances?
If you're only talking accidental or negligent use of firearms then you are saying its appropriate to force 100 million gun owners to buy insurance because approximately 3,800 people made a mistake.
Then theres the 31,959 accidental deaths caused by falls. Or the 42,032 caused by accidental poisoning. Just curious if you think we should have to carry insurance for those other causes of the 135,928 accidental deaths as well. (less than 34,000 are from motor vehicles)
