2nd Encounter of the Day.... Over guns this time

7. Insurance (and lawsuits) are a very potent angle

Almost everybody who bitches like crazy about "their second amendment rights" also rails on about how America is is serious decay because of a lack of personal accountability.

Well folks, there is nothing less accountable in our society then our guns and what people do with them.

I predict that within the next 5 years it will become commonplace to see lawsuits filed and won when damages result from unsafe storage or use of weapons. And that will be the thing that ultimately gets this under control.

People like to make jokes about lawyers, but the fact is that many of the advances we have seen in our society are the direct result of aggressive legal actions. Maybe somebody needs to establish a fund that will pay the legal fees to get these actions started whenever an irresponsible gun owner causes harm to another.
