Democratic lawmakers proposed legislation Tuesday that would require California gun owners to buy liability insurance to cover damages or injuries caused by their weapons.

I'm not sure what to say to this. Obviously I do NOT support it and even believe it to be unConstitutional. But trying to force such a thing just blows my mind. And given their gun registration for all handguns and various other weapons, it would be pretty easy for them to go after the law-abiding who don't comply (either because they don't know of the change or because they view it as unConstitutional and thus void at signing).

Relax. Does anybody except the legislature expect an insurance underwriter to offer a liability policy specific to firearms?

My best guess is they are trying to find a way to redirect claims by those who failed in the victim selectioon process away from state-paid medical treatment, care, rehabilitation and welfare support. Good luck with that.

stay safe.

I wouldn't relax. This could set a horrible precedent for other states.

Listened to the show while on the road yesterday (sat radio), lots of good points, do we next insure matches because of arson, knifes because they cut and are more popular a weapon than guns, ladders because more people die from falls???
All this will do is make the insurance company's very rich nothing else, while still denying personal responsibility for actions by individuals that will always find and misuse anything they can....
