Probably not even under a liberal court.

What is it you hope requiring insurance would accomplish?

and it would pay off in cases where the gun was used in a shooting, regardless of how, the cost for it would be off the charts for certain guns, certain people, prohibitive and we could control them to some point.

It would be liability insurance which is tricky, but if there is negligence involved with the ownership of the gun, that is where it comes in to play.

I have said this for years, but it is not gonna happen with cons on this earth.

Just allow gun mfgs to be sued, that alone could solve it.

Just make gun mfgs liable FOR their product, which is built FOR THE PURPOSE OF RIPPING THROUGH HUMAN FLESH!

And no, cars are not mfg to kill people.

Also this would not make money for the NRA.

So what's the SOLUTION to gun violence?.......................

"Guns: There's a "Free Market" Solution Every Republican Should Love"

Insurance lets the market decide. Profit for the NRA

Solution - NRA/gun orgs sell (mandatory) liability insurance

Protects the gun owners,the public,and makes profit for NRA and gun orgs.

Surely we can trust the gun orgs to not take advantage of such power.
