Will we have to buy free speech insurance soon?
Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this ping list, let me know.
Our founders set up a system that works at a snail’s pace for a reason. It avoided knee jerk actions that did more harm than good.
It all shows to go ya... you pose a worse danger driving a car than you do as a typical honest, sane man or woman using a gun for protective, hunting, and sporting purposes. Guns don’t go whispering sinister suggestions to that population.
Insure before you yack! I know at least one insurance company that is pushing “internet slander” coverage now.
They seemed to have omitted by accident the real reason for insurance, and that’s to know who the gun owners are.
yup, a kind of private registration. now if some insurance firm wants to hawk such policies to a voluntary clientele, more power to them. but making it mandatory is ungood.
wow
Give this to the insurance folks, too, and...let’s see. Think about the consequences or not. No freedoms for some, no freedom for anyone. IMO, we’re already seeing some of the consequences of abrogations of freedoms for some groups.
Oh really????
Who’s going to mind the data, since insurance companies are just corporations, bendable to the will of government?
What happens if you DON”T do this? How are they going to verify who has bought insurance, and who has not? I bet they will check the background check forms with a start of five years previous.
How are they going to ensure that once you pay for this state-mandated “indulgence”, that you pay it again, and again, etc.?
How are they going to ensure that all those folks that live in apartments, and do not own homes, get put on the bill? The insurance company that made the deal with the property management company might not be up to the task.
Once again, government wants to control the people.
I think it is time, that some of these UFO’s I’ve been hearing about, come and whisk some of these legislators away with them!
The real reason is not to limit future Sandy Hook’s but rather to limit gun ownership and eventually eliminate guns in private hands completely. That is what having a D after one’s name is really all about, as in Rep. Bob Godfrey, D-Danbury, Sen. Beth Bye, D-West Hartford,and Sen. Edward Meyer, D-Guilford.
There’s no reason for them to think. They’re after gun owners, not meaningful, thoughful legislation.
Make congress at least read the bills before voting.
Yes, and since gold and silver have been eliminated from the monetary system, I guess we’ll just pay them with lead!
Hmmm....
“This bill, like the one by Sen. Edward Meyer, D-Guilford, seeking to limit gun magazines to one round...”
Someone more creative than me explain how a one round magazine would look and work.
I wonder if they realize that the laws will be driving law abiding gun owners into NRA membership, just so they can get insurance. The gun owners will get insurance rather than give up their firearms. The ranks and power of the NRA are going increase dramatically and that will come back to kick these stupid politicians out of office.
This whole gun control movement, should be retitled the “make my day club.”
Can just see the Democrats sticking this in Obamacare: gun owners must but “liability insurance” for $2,000 or they will be assessed a yearly fine/tax of $3,000.
This is just another avenue for government to document gun owners and limit the right to bear arms.
Why on Earth would they start now?
“Will we have to buy free speech insurance soon?”
We don’t have to insure our right to vote when we pass that will be taken care of for us, it’s just thst our party will change.
