Do you think Gun Insurance would be a good way to handle the gun problem in the US?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Much like how one insures their car, why not also your gun? Regulations would need to be put in place to make sure a person would be a responsible gun owner in the same way regulations are done for responsible drivers. You wouldn’t be able to travel with it if you didn’t have proof of insurance. It would mean that if something happens to/with your gun that caused damage to property or people then your insurance would pay for such a claim rather than you. If your gun is stolen and then retrieved by law enforcement you would only need proof of insurance to retrieve it because you’re a responsible gun owner, it’s not your fault it got stolen. If someone else uses your gun for malicious purposes, it takes the blame off of you because that may be your gun but that doesn’t mean you gave them permission to use it in such a way and the insurance would be the one going to court over it rather than you if it reached that point.

Yes, gun insurance is a great idea

No, gun insurance is a bad idea

I like the sentiment but I think it’s too simplistic of a solution

I don’t like the sentiment but I agree it’s not a terrible idea

Have you ever heard of uninsured drivers? Well criminals will not insure their guns….
Any ideas like this only burden law abiding citizens and doesn’t make the country any safer.

Also, driving is a privilege NOT a right. We are granted the right to be armed in our constitution. The government doesn’t have the right to impose restrictions or meaningless regulations.

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY!! Have your 2A but take out liability insurance! Same for gun sellers!! Get a policy to protect yourself and us!! I am so in favor of this idea!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Controlling WHO can get access to a gun would EASILY handle the problem for the majority.
but americans gotta American and repel with being dumb.

Had thought of this too but I’m an American 👀👍 just wanted to point that out. Love your comments and opinions by the way.

[HelpfulWoman]

@Rosexøxø for sure there's some americans who aren't dumb so please don't feel I mean all. just most of the loud vocal ones XD

[Caroline91]

That would just legitimize gun violence. Oh, go ahead, you got insurance!

[SuchSightsToShowYou]

Forcing gun owners to buy gun insurance would probably be unconstitutional, for the same reason that charging people a fee to vote would be unconstitutional.

[DrPepper12]

Insurance is not an infringement. The 6 christo-fascists and 2 corrupt as fuck criminals will probably disagree with me tho

[gatixek710]

Driving is a privilege, not a right. Do you need to carry insurance to exercise free speech?

[MrGSpotHer]

I don't know I'm Brit I opt out of it
