Gun safety through mandatory arms insurance

Mandatory insurance will unite everyone’s interest in fighting the real problem with guns.

I'm sure it would just be a massive money making fund for the insurance companies, and other fraudsters.

Unconstitutional. What part of "shall not be infringed" does this fall under? Do you have to buy insurance to use power tools or a microwave oven?

Criminals, by definition, do not obey laws. How you gonna make them buy insurance?

The only gun problem I am aware of is lack of availability.

Yes. This. When in doubt as to why those in seats of power want to do something (and it's not an obvious power grab), look for the money trail. There's always a money trail in the absence of a power trip.

Quote “This won't work instantly, but it will work because it breaks the deadlock about guns and how to keep them away from the wrong people, without denying anyone’s rights. It will end the lethal political deadlock over guns.”

so they are all about passing more laws that criminals will ignore!
