I am deeply supportive of the second amendment but liability insurance for guns seems like a fantastic idea to me. Love in rural Montana and own a long rifle for hunting? You insurance is quite cheap. Live in Brooklyn, are 17 years old, and own a handgun? Quite expensive.

Unfortunately like automobiles all this would due is punish the honest people. The people who most should have this insurance just wouldn't buy it.

Liability insurance just means rich people have guns. the people who would most benefit from guns for self defense, low income people in high crime areas, would be excluded from gun ownership due to excessive costs. The police also aren't the answer as they have no duty to actually protect you, and have shown repeatedly that they will simply wait for overwhelming force while a shooter is killing people.

Gun registrations just tell the government, or anyone who can access the registration where to get guns. Registrations don't stop anything and only serve to create more criminals from otherwise innocent people if they don't file paperwork on time. Also, in the U.S. any form of government list of people is heavily suspect regardless of guns, a vast majority of people simply don't want anything that can let the government easily track them. Social Security is barely tolerated for keeping massive amounts of seniors from starving to death, even then the creation of the SSN was hugely controversial.

>>I know as I live in Indiana which changed to a no gun registration state

When was there ever gun registration in Indiana?

Introducing a brand new heavily funded lobby to make sure guns stay on the streets. Brilliant.

> Among religious right guns are seen as a male status symbols

There's a (already fairly 'culty') church here where every adult male wears a pistol to church.
