Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) responded to Wednesday’s horrific mass shooting at a Florida high school by urging action on gun restrictions during a brief exchange with reporters on Capitol Hill this morning. “When you see the effect of this extreme violence on a human body, and especially the body of a child, maybe it will shock some people into understanding,” Harris said. “This cannot be a political issue. We have to be practical. I support the Second Amendment. But we have to have smart gun-safety laws. And we cannot tolerate a society and live in a country with any level of pride when our babies are being slaughtered.”

4. one wonders what harris is going to actually do about. I suggest requiring insurance on guns by

gun owners

5. What do you think that would do?

Insurance laws prevent payouts for criminal activities. I can't collect insurance if I intentionally burn down my home, or total my car. Liability insurance on guns would only apply to accidental shootings, not murders.

And it would be a cash Bonanza for the NRA; they already offer it to members: https://www.thetrace.org/2017/04/nra-insurance-carry-guard-self-defense/

$40/month.
