Middle ground idea on gun control: Gun Insurance

[TheKentuckian]

99. It isn't a middle ground, it is a poll tax.

This is an enumerated right here, not a privilege.

This even serves the exact purpose of a poll tax, disenfranchisement of those with the greatest need for self defense and to hunt.

Of course the reality wouldn't be as outlined either. Coverage would logically be almost nothing considering the feeble number of accidental injuries and deaths compared to the amount of firearms known to be in circulation, and I would bet there are significantly more unaccounted for.

You can't write insurance against killing sprees or illegal shootings.
Nobody has insurance for driving down a sidewalk and mowing folks down or deciding to run someone off the road.


I do think if you are trying to create a "collective guilt" pool, it may be plausible as a one time tax at the time of purchase to go to a central fund but it could not be designed to create a substantial barrier to ownership.
I also think there is room for a licensing requirement since we do have to register to vote but you couldn't have a fee or it turns into a poll tax again.
