Oh, wait, I'm sure someone will pop over and enlighten us.

Now if we can only get them to leave precious at home while shopping.

It doesn't keep people from owning guns, just makes them take responsibility for what happens with their guns.

1.) Anyone in possession of a gun (whether they own it or not) should have a regularly renewed license. If you want to call it a permit, certificate, or something else that's fine.

2.) To get a license, you should have a background check, and be examined by a professional for emotional and mental stability appropriate for gun possession. It might be appropriate to require that examination to be accompanied by references from family, friends, employers, etc. This check is not to subject you to a mental health diagnosis, just check on your superficial and apparent gun-worthyness.

3.) To get the license, you should be required to take a safety course and pass a test appropriate to the type of gun you want to use.

4.) To get a license, you should be over 21. Under 21, you could only use a gun under direct supervision of a licensed person and after obtaining a learner’s license. Your license might be restricted if you have children or criminals or other unsafe people living in your home. (If you want to argue 18 or 25 or some other age, fine. 21 makes sense to me.)

5.) If you possess a gun, you would have to carry a liability insurance policy specifically for gun ownership - and likely you would have to provide proof of appropriate storage, security, and whatever statistical reasons that emerge that would drive the costs and ability to get insurance.

6.) You could not purchase a gun or ammunition without a license, and purchases would have a waiting period.

7.) If you possess a gun without a license, you go to jail, the gun is impounded, and a judge will have to let you go (just like a DUI).

8.) No one should carry an unsecured gun (except in a locked case, unloaded) when outside of home. Guns should be secure when transporting to a shooting event without demonstrating a special need. Their license should indicate training and special carry circumstances beyond recreational shooting (security guard, etc.). If you are carrying your gun while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you lose your gun and license.

9.) If you buy, sell, give away, or inherit a gun, your license information should be recorded.

10.) If you accidentally discharge your gun, commit a crime, get referred by a mental health professional, are served a restraining order, etc., you should lose your license and guns until reinstated by a serious relicensing process.

Often *multiple* guns, you can damn well buy insurance. If they want to exclude hunting rifles and such, fine. But every hand gun at least should require a permit, gun safe, and insurance. And if you conceal carry, your rates should be commensurate with that.

Will it pass? No. Should it be supported by everyone who wants to stop gun violence, even gun owners? HELL YES!!!

I think I have the ammosexual logic down pat.

Given all the harm a gun can cause it makes perfect sense to hold owners responsible.

Since they sell this type of insurance.

victims of police abuse.

ABSOLUTELY

FL: .. gunners are all up in arms (pun intended) over this bill that would require all gun owners to carry liability insurance for injuries/damages caused by their gun. See, they believe that the cost of said insurance would price gun ownership out of reach for some gun owners.

I wonder if gunnuts are just all upset that it might be offered by 'outsiders' to the gun lobby & gun industry, & their endorsements? (although quite limited to your overall concerns, FL)
