Congressman votes to let mentally ill buy guns. Mentally ill man shoots congressman playing baseball in the park.
You get the point, right? The nutters have made it easy for every other nutter to buy pretty much any gun they want and said nutters then go out and shoot others. That last example doesn't really count because the taxpayer foots the bill but what about those innocents who are harmed by the, uh enthusiasm and passion of gun nutters? A while back, I heard of a congressman who didn't become a lobbyist for te NRA and instead, is selling liability ins to gun nuts. And the NRA has found yet another way to soak the gullible:
The NRA Is Selling Insurance to Gun Owners Willing to Shoot in Self Defense
The policies cover clean-up costs, too. But full reimbursement for legal fees only comes when a case ends in acquittal.

First, the National Rifle Association worked to let gun owners carry firearms in public. Then it fought to pass laws that say gun carriers can open fire to stop a perceived threat, even when retreat is possible. Now that the NRA has expanded the legal right to armed self defense, it’s muscling into the niche industry that’s arisen to help Americans deal with the costly consequences of actually exercising it. This week, the group unveiled insurance plans that it says will help defray the legal costs that can arise from shooting another person.

The Myth of Gun Liability Insurance
The 5 Problems of Requiring Gun Owners to Buy Liability Insurance
Should Gun Owners Have To Buy Liability Insurance?
=========================
So? Should the shooter be responsible? Like car insurance, should the have to carry insurance or prove he can cover the size bill the congressman is now racking up?
What about gun owners like me? I own guns but they don't own me. I wouldn't consider carrying a gun with me so should I have to carry the same insurance as those who can't go to the grocery store without their gun?
Nope...mandatory insurance is nothing more than a poll tax...the democrats used poll taxes to keep blacks from voting...you would use insurance fees as a tax on gun ownership...making it impossible for the poor to own and carry guns....
And guns are used by Americans to stop violent criminal attack 1,500,000 times a year......according to bill Clinton and Batak Obama.......those are lives saved and money saved...and insurance premiums that don't go up because the victims stop the crimes......
