Yet, when we went from common civilians owning a musket..or revolver............to owning a weapon of war like an AK47 or AR15, we never jumped to the same conclusion of "Oh shit, these assault rifles are way more deadly than a pistol or hunting rifle, we better take some common sense approaches to safeguard".
What common sense approaches to safeguard do you have in mind ?
I said it. License, Registration, Insurance. I own an M4 and love it. I'd gladly apply for a license, register it, and have some insurance on it. Plus, insuring guns would create a whole new industry of gun insurance, and that means JOBS!!!!
For example, the most expensive insurance would be one you buy, and the agent knows nothing about you or the gun except your name and what type gun it is. Period. Expensive.
The cheapest would be knowing you, the gun, and an in home visit to see how well you secure it and what training you have attended to become adept with it. Like the Newton mom, who should've had that fucking gun secured away from her son. Getting cheap insurance as an incentive to secure your guns well would be an incentive.
I have never, and will never, advocate a gun BAN. Not only do I think it wouldnt help, but it is unenforceable.
So price poor people out of owning guns? How progressive of you.
