doesnt insurance come with a NRA membership? Or would the NRA decide to become a carrier and offer discounts for members?

Insurance policy (Left plans for MANDATORY liability insurance LOL! Exactly how do they plan to enforce that? Why am I offered uninsured motorist coverage in my auto insurance when AFIK, liability insurance is mandatory. Yet we read daily about vehicle accidents where a driver has no insurance.

“ If we had liability insurance on guns, as we do 4 cars, we will see which insurance company would insure at which price folks with arsenals”A very disingenuous statement.
One only needs automobile insurance when one wishes to drive their vehicle on public roads. A person can own a vehicle, and drive it on private property, with absolutely no insurance of any kind, or even a drivers license (or vehicle license, for that matter).

Will Juan Zeta, Trayvon the Gangbanger, Jared from the Nuthouse, or Guido the Revolving Jaildoor Recidivist Murderer carry "mandatory" liability insurance? I think not. All of the statists "solutions" do not reach the perpetrators. They only constrain, and anger, those who aren't doing the murdering.
But their "solutions" always have unintended consequences. ALWAYS.

Insurance for insurance? Sounds redundant to me! My steel and wood are all the insurance I need!

And this “liability” insurance will certainly have the exact same type of provisions against injury to property and persons.
Furthermore, “risk” persons most certainly ARE deterred from auto ownership when their insurance rates are high / are unable to obtain insurance when no one will issue a policy.
I agree that the “intent” might well be different - it still changes nothing on the argument itself - in both cases, the government is placing a condition on a personal right. I don’t recall the clause in the Constitution which specifically granted that claim, but I’m sure our wonderful “conservative” justices can create one ...

You had mentioned the rights that our Constitution acknowledges that we have, and it made me think of the Declaration that listed many of the rights that were being trampled on way back then.
And of course now again. This “insurance” sounds more like a tax, fee, bribe, etc. than “insurance”. (I got carried away with some of the other grievances that I listed!)
