Mandatory Gun Insurance Is Making A Comeback

[Chef Ramsay]

Second Amendment infringement may be on the horizon again, with so-called “gun insurance” added to the list of requirement to purchase and carry a firearm.

US Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D.-N.Y.) has introduced a gun control bill that would mandate that every American who wants to own a gun also purchase and carry liability insurance as well.

The Firearm Risk Protection Act, H.R. 2546, was unveiled in late May and would require that gun owners buy liability insurance coverage before being permitted to buy a handgun or a rifle from a store or dealer. A $10,000 fine would be levied if a gun owner is caught without gun insurance.

The only exemptions would be members of the military and law enforcement officers.

Funny that democrats talk about voter disenfranchisement when this is the exact same thing but with guns.

That's another way of putting an additional tax on people. Of course most of the money will go no this insurance but there are plenty of taxes along the way. Also the government can limit the amount of people using guns because not everybody would be willing to pay an additional insurance for gun.

Most importantly this raises the barrier for owning a gun for the people who need to protect themselves most often... poor people.

Hmm... the democrats quickly used the situation to get commissions from the insurance industry. The insurance guys are as bad as the bankers and the pharma cartels. They take money away from hard working people. The health insurance is the worst. Medical insurance is the primary reason why medical care in the United States is 10 times more expensive, when compared to the same in Singapore or Thailand.
