crimes involving guns, but all gun owners should be required to carry serious liability insurance. If a gun is stolen from you, you're still responsible for it.

And there's a fundamental difference between traffic deaths, and deaths that occur in homes. Guns exist for one purpose. To harm and to kill. Every single gun owner considers himself or herself to be responsible. Good for you for keeping control over your guns, but thousands of gun deaths occur because an awful lot of people leave their guns out where they can be picked up by anyone at all.
