2. How about mandated liability insurance for everyone to cover dumb things they might do

A boon to insurance companies and if you leave a kid in a hot car, your dog attacks someone, someone drowns in your pool, a gun you own accidentally harms someone, etc there will be coverage?

We could extend this to climate change - since more people with cars, computers, phones, etc are damaging our environment and harming more of us than all the things above.

I would gladly endorse giving up all guns and pit bulls when others turn in their cars, only use solar power, use less water (take a bath once a week maybe, dishes about the same), etc.

Contribute to the death of the whole planet on one hand, have less than 1% of people doing something bad with object X on the other...hmmm, where should the outrage and efforts be? On the things most emotional I guess.
