1. Not this shit again..

1. A liability policy would not cover a criminal act. If someone flew off in a rage and killed someone in an unjustified shooting, insurance would not cover it.

2. Such a general liability policy costs about $40 a year. Not the great big financial burden you want it to be.

3. The major provider of such policies? The NRA. (Do you really want to send them more money?)

2. but it does cover the accidental shootings, of which there are many.

I don't think $40.00 a year is too much.

I pay insurance on my home and my car.

The NRA makes money being the political wing of every gun manufacturer in the World. Everyone that buys a gun or a bullet sends money to the NRA via big corporate weapons manufacturers or as members. So I don't see a big deal about those people paying them for insurance.

4. And I bet plenty of those accidental shooting victims never receive compensation

because the gun owner has very little money. Insurance would take care of that.

7. Most accidental shootings are at home, and homeowners insurance covers them

That's why most accidental discharge victims who aren't the discharger (which is a small population to begin with) get a settlement.

5. And here I've avoided giving the NRA one thin dime.

3. Where is the "Hell, yes!"

option?

6. Focus, people, focus: universal background checks.

We have public support for that. We can run on that. It's an idea that would do some good.
