Banning assault rifles will do no good.

31. Stop it with the cars = guns analogy. Several posters are presenting that argument, & it's silly.

Registration for guns is reasonable. But ins. isn't....and it won't happen. That's because it's unreasonable.

Cars are several thousand pounds of metal being driven around by anyone who can afford to buy, or steal, one. They're being driven around broad areas daily, around other several thousand pound metal vehicles, on public streets, around pedestrians and children. Car accident WILL and DO happen thousands of times every day in the country.

The body count from cars far exceeds that of guns.

Cars can be legally driven around by anyone at all, even one with a criminal background or mentally deficient or mentally ill.

So people are required to carry liability insurance to protect someone else's property and personal injury. It is most likely that anyone who drives a vehicle will get in an accident, but it is most likely that someone with a gun will never cause any property damage or injury to anyone.

So requiring ins. is more a punishment thing, or a way for ins. cos. to get more money.

Reminder: We are seeking legislation to lessen mass murders. Requiring ins. will have no effect whatsoever on that.
