Firearms insurance?

38. I'm not sure how that is relevant

IOW, if you live in an a city, you don't have the right to defend yourself?

If you want to risk innocent bystanders, then yeah you should have to pay for insurance. Otherwise, use weapons that are almost impossible to injure bystanders with. It's pretty fucking callous to do otherwise.

Car crashes kill something like 30K people a year, not counting property and injured people.

So? The vast vast majority are choosing to accept that risk.

The accidents you are describing are something like ten or twenty, a couple of hundred at most.

So? Because it only happens to a few people, fuck em? I also can't choose to not participate in my neighbor owning a gun, I can choose to not participate in driving.

The insurance would be dirt cheap. Self defense insurance costs less than a box of ammo a month, and that is for a million dollar policy. BTW, it would be a great money maker for the NRA. In fact, the entire idea was from an insurance executive who wrote a Forbes, or was it Fortune, one of those Wall Street pubs, article on it. For them, it is about easy profit, raking in billions in premiums with little chance of ever having to pay it out.
The value decreases even more if we adopt a single payer or a socialized system.

I saw you quote this to someone else. You assume I fucking think the NRA making money in this situation is a bad thing. I don't. I care about the people who get shot and don't want them left holding the bag on medical bills if the shooter just declares bankruptcy. Whether it's the NRA making money or someone else - I don't care.
