Sure just as soon as you buy an insurance policy to insure you dispose of the CFL light bulbs in your home, that mercury is dangerous shit ya know. Do you really want to take the crap out to the ultimate conclusion.

Car insurance sure seems to work just fine. People drive a bit safer. And most buy insurance. The cost of not doing so is too much to risk. And thats the point.
When the Constitution was written, "well-regulated" meant properly functioning. It had nothing to do with nanny-state meddling that modern regulation encompasses.
Ok. My proposal. I dont believe in a gun ban. Wouldnt work for one. And not enforceable.
So what about gun insurance? You have the right to transport, yet, cars are so dangerous, we require insurance.
Yes it does. An individual's right to bear arms can not be infringed because a well regulated milita is necessary for secure State.
Each state addresses the regulation of its respective militia.
My state does in its Constitution
Somehow you think no regulation = well regulated.
Nope. My state has formal militia and firearms regulations.
Which means....if it is legal for your state to do that...then it is legal for the Feds to do it.
Ah. Interesting, right?

It's sad the lack of basic knowledge displayed by the Moonbats on this board (and elsewhere).
The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary, and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:
1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations."
1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world."
1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial."
1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor."
1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding."
1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city."
The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.
Meaning of the phrase "well-regulated"
How bout this? Treat guns exactly like cars; no worse, no better.
To carry a gun anywhere outside your home, you must:
1- Have a license. If you drive a car without license, you go to jail. Lets make it the same with a gun. Must have proof with you.
2- Must register the car. Many states dont require gun registry. But do for cars. Make all guns be registered with the state, just like a car. Must have proof with you.
3- Gun Insurance. Yep. You must have liability insurance on the gun. Just like a car. If you accidentally shoot someone, you pay up...er, well, the insurance company pays up. Get caught outside your home with a gun, and no insurance? Go to jail, just like a car.
You can buy a car without a license, park it in your driveway, not register it, and carry no insurance on it, and its legal. You just cant drive it off your property.
Treat guns the same. Buy your guns for your home.
But take them anywhere off your property, and you must have a license, registration and insurance, just like a car.
Afterall, a car, like a gun....is just a tool, not a killing machine, unless being operated by the wrong person.
Fair enough?

Actually, we don't. The States (not the Feds) may require insurance to operate a vehicle ON A PUBLIC ROAD. You don't need a license or insurance to buy a vehicle or to operate one on your own property.
Therefore, by your own reasoning, the Federal government should have NO involvement in the individual right to bear arms (or require insurance) but states are free to require a conceal carry license for firearms in public places.
Works for me.

How about this:
FUCK OFF.
Guns are protected by the Bill of Rights. Cars aren't.

No they are not.
Yet another troll fail....
Listen gun grabbers - Gun control legislation will go nowhere. That's why Obama put the worlds stupidest man in charge of it.....
