The fact you -- as a law-abiding gun owner -- think this is "amusing" is central to the problem.
You have already said you are in favor of more significant regulation on firearms if I recall correctly. Why wouldn't you be welcoming these relatively modest changes?
Who said I was opposed to anything said?
I just think it is funny to watch a handful of people on here, most of them not even living in the States or with any understanding of the broader issue, “solve” the 200+ year issue of 2A.
Additionally, what you see as “modest” creates a financial burden on law abiding owners that illegal gun owners couldn’t care less about! Do you think gangbangers are going to
A) “Register” their guns? That’s going to have to be a part of the issue, right, as if you are going to be required to get liability insurance for guns, the insurer is going to need to know what EXACTLY the liability is, right? In Congress, that’s a NON-STARTER!
B) Do you think that most gun owners have additional free income to even contemplate insuring them? So, no liability insurance makes you a criminal, right? Law abiding made illegal owner.
Good luck! We are all counting on you!
Clearly, with a seven figure umbrella liability insurance policy on top of my auto & home package, paying a few bucks to add this is not an issue to me, but how about the other tens of millions of gun owners?
Its just another of the many, many ways that people have tried to PRICE GUN OWNERS OUT OF BEING A GUN OWNER.
There have been numerous calls, even on here, that if guns are ubiquitous and cheap, then make it prohibitively expensive to buy ammunition. Clearly, those people don’t understand the process of making your own ammo, but regardless, the ONLY WAY to do it in a capitalistic society is to TAX IT. Do you think that plays out in America in 2022? No, me either! Maybe in SFO and Marin County, but you might hear something else coming from Humboldt!!!
