If insurance is so great at stopping bad things from happening, can we get politician insurance?
For a mere $5.95 a month, you too can be insured against the risk of electing morons whose only two functions in life are stealing money and trying to run your life.
So now the anti-2nd amendment trolls have a great new idea. Stop shootings with gun insurance. Its a plan so stupid it can only come from a career Democrat.
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.
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.
So Maloneys theory is that the gang members, who are responsible for most of the shootings, will have to buy gun insurance before they shoot someone?
Of course their guns are usually illegal anyway because theyre operating in blue states and/or blue cities. So this plan makes about as much sense as complaining that rioters burning down businesses need jobs.
Instead this is yet another bout of trolling and petty harassment aimed at gun owners by a frustrated left irritated because it hasnt been able to get its own way in its long battle with the Bill of Rights.
Is ther anything good leftist democRat policies CAN’T solve?!
Wow! They are so, so smart!!
Send me the application for politicians insurance
I just hope my former “pre existing conditions” don’t render me uninsurable
I have hated her since day one.
They can join the NRA.
does this “thing” have any kind of brain?
Ever taken a Dr. Prescribed slow down or an antidepressant?
Yeah, I can see it now.
She’s an ef’ing idiot....
This is an end run to registration. The insurance company must know what they are insuring and will maintain a list. Get caught with a weapon that is not on your insurance list,pay $10K. As we have seen with health care records, these things are easily hacked/accessed. Politicians and bad guys will know what you have.
So then, are the police going to go arrest gang types if they don’t have insurance on their illegal guns?? What the heck???
Does this congresswoman really think that the feral gang members, who are so lawless to begin with, will dutifully head on down to their local State Farm or Allstate office and buy an insurance policy on their illegal weapons?,,,
There’s a big disconnect right there. If someone has a gun obtained illegally, how the heck does she expect someone to get insurance?,,,Wouldn’t it be illegal to sell insurance for an illegal weapon? You can’t get car insurance for a car you don’t own can you????
There you go. Make all the gangbangers join the NRA.
Problem in liberal moonbat world solved.
It gets stranger and stranger everyday. Is there a psychological branch of science that specializes in lunatic liberals?
Have they thrown open all the doors to all the insane asylums in the country?
IQ above single digits should be a requirement to be a Cobgresscritter. Just saying
Check the records on the congress critter’s donor list and I guarantee their will be the insurance lobby pumping dollars into the campaign coffers!
They aren’t going to buy gun insurance. What a nut! The level of intelligence in Democrat anything is below amoeba.
How does she plan on finding all those gang members, and making them pay? Is she going to deduct it from their welfare checks? What a freakin’ moron. She actually thinks that will stop them from killing each other, and innocent bystanders?
This latest anti-gun idiocy make me think of the following (courtesy of George Strait):
“I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona
And if you’ll buy that I’ll throw the Golden Gate in free”
