Democratic lawmakers proposed legislation Tuesday that would require California gun owners to buy liability insurance to cover damages or injuries caused by their weapons.
...
Some proposals would require buyers to show proof of insurance before they could purchase a weapon. The proposal in California would apply to anyone owning a weapon, Ting said, though the bill’s details are still being worked out.
...
Ting equated the idea to requiring vehicle owners to buy auto insurance.
...
Ting also introduced AB232, which would give a state income-tax credit of up to $1,000 to anyone who turns in a firearm to a local gun buyback program. The amount of the credit would be determined based on the value of the weapon.

It will fly if they call it a tax instead of insurance. /s
People need to start suing California for every former convict that commits a crime, after being released from prison in that state.
What a bunch of loons? Break into my house have a will. The lock on the front door is for your protection, not mine.
Easiest scam in the world...! I can't see them doing this, as there are THOUSANDS of cheap guns you could buy specifically to turn it in.
EVERY gun activist would do that.
Yuh can’t fix stoopit and he’s got all kinds of it.
Hey, yuh jackass, most gun deaths occur from the actions of those prohibited from owning a weapon or who are undocumented militants.
They won’t be buying insurance and neither will I.
You are not my better nor am I in anyway subsuming my rights to yer fascistic dicta.
Pound sand.
Fair is fair, right, gringo?
“Ting equated the idea to requiring vehicle owners to buy auto insurance.”
Auto’s aren’t covered by the Bill of Rights.
Evil indeed.

This is coming up in more than one state and must be fought.
Once the insurance companies can charge you a mere $1000 per gun per year (if you only own one, higher premiums for “many”), they can demand higher premiums if you don’t have a particular type of safe, perhaps with a secure alarm system that is monitored remotely, then the requirement that the LEO response is within 20 minutes.
And why not whip the know-nothings up until they agree that $5000 per gun per year is “reasonable and responsible”?
This is one way they reduced gun ownership in England before the confiscations.
The folks that hate privatizing things will use this to privatize gun confiscation.
Wasn’t there a story recently about Cali has something like 40,000 felons and mentally instable people with guns?
What about them?
Oh wait, I forgot, it is easier to disarm law abiding people than disarming crazies who will shoot back.
Disarm the law abiding and leave the lawless alone. That’ll fix it.
Will knife, hammer, fire-poker, and baseball bat owners need to buy insurance also?

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

So, law abiding citizens pay while drug dealing armed illegal aliens roam with no penalty.
Ting is following his hero, Mao.
What about the poor who can’t afford the mandated insurance, will they then be denied their Second Amendment rights? Or will it be optional for selected classes like the ILLEGAL immigrants ( that’s right I don’t care what the Dems want, Illegal they are and illegal I will call them.) Will the liberals require that law enforcement not hold them to the same standards as legal citizens and allow them to skate like with drivers licenses and auto insurance?
???? Great idea.
How about making any couple who marries a same sex partner buy insurance to cover their future aids, and anyone they give HIV to??
At the Federal level....and so its not discriminatory the lesbians must buy it too.... Owch !
Kiss my ass.

Call it the Huckabee principle.
“Ting equated the idea to requiring vehicle owners to buy auto insurance.”
What a moron to equate a requirement to engage in a privilege with a Constitutionally protected right! I think we need to demand that elected officials carry liability insurance for speech before they are allowed to open their mouths. After all if you can start demanding a Citizen carries insurance to for one Constitutional right why not for all of them. Just think how much money the government could suck out of the people if they are the mandated insurer ala Obamacare.
I get coverage for public CHL.
On private land you can kiss my ***
