House bill would require gun owners to have liability insurance

What's next? These left wing morons in DC have endless stupid ideas and this one is up there near the top of the stupidest of the stupidest of them. The article says, "House Democrat Rep. Carolyn Maloney (N.Y.) has introduced a bill that would require gun owners to carry liability insurance.

The Firearm Risk Protection Act, unveiled Friday, would require gun buyers to have liability insurance coverage before being allowed to purchase a weapon, and would impose a fine of $10,000 if an owner is found not to have it. Service members and law enforcement officers, however, would be exempt from the requirement.

We require insurance to own a car, but no such requirement exists for guns," Maloney said in a statement. "The results are clear: car fatalities have declined by 25 percent in the last decade, but gun fatalities continue to rise.”

Maloney said auto insurance carriers incentivize drivers to take precautions to reduce accidents, but no such incentives exist for firearm owners.

“An insurance requirement would allow the free market to encourage cautious behavior and help save lives,” she said. “Adequate liability coverage would also ensure that the victims of gun violence are fairly compensated when crimes or accidents occur.""

So let me get this straight, if this bill passes, the criminals, who represent 99.9999% of the ones creating victims and who don't register their guns, naturally won't get insurance while  99.9999% of the law abiding population who own guns and create no victims for doing so, will be forced to buy it?  What will these Democrat idiots think of next? Nevermind, I don't want to know. If they are so stupid to believe any law prevents criminals from owning guns and using them against the innocent, there is no hope for them, none at all, to ever have a lick of intelligence coming out of their minds.
