Showing Original Post only (View all)How about requiring gun owners to carry insurance? [View all]
We are now at the point where guns kill more children than cars. The more lethal the weapon, the higher the insurance. Just like sports cars cost more to insure than a Corolla.
If there is a shooting at a business, the business may get sued. How about making gun owners bear some of the financial burden?
Some may argue that all gun owners shouldnt have to bear the cost because of what some may do, but that applies to all types of insurance. No?
