Bad News for the NRA - people are fugging serious

126. In a very perverse way, the NRA gets stronger after each televised murder/attack.

As does the weapons industry. Frightened people race out and buy weapons...probably money needed to take care of their family, but the change in priorities fearing for their lives. So, new and more weapons for the family.

What is missing, is consequences...as in liability...expensive insurance for each weapon...reregistration. Just the simple act of an auto knocking down a street light...that person's insurance must pay for it and if one does not have adequate insurance, the City may pursue the individual. Consequences are geometrically increased if drug or alcohol impaired.

Now, think of the cost to the Newtown community, or even a "small" gun crime. And what happens? People's lives are ruined, physically and emotionally, children lose parents, parents lose spouses, perhaps can't go back to work, SS disability, lose homes, businesses lose crucial business, repairs, police hours, overtime, lack of attention to other cases, etc. But, voila !! The NRA and weapons manufacturers actually get richer and become, as a result, more powerful.

How hard would it be to require weapon insurance? The higher and faster the shot capacity, the higher the insurance. For each incident, not only a police report, but a dollar figure emerges and is presented to the shooter. Has nothing whatsoever to do with the 2nd Amendment or the rights to keep and bear guns.
