(720 posts)1. Even if an insurance company could require you to prove that you own a gun safe, there is zero way they can actually enforce that requirement. Pretty sure they can't do random searches of your home. This is an unenforceable rule that is simply designed to drive up the cost of firearm ownership for law-abiding citizens and will have zero impact on gun crime. It certainly would not have stopped any of the suicides or firearm crimes that we should be trying to prevent.
2. So, then you are saying no waiting period for someone to purchase ammo at a range. Either you can or cannot purchase it that day, and if you can then there is no waiting period. We don't even have K-Mart or Wal-Mart where I live, so if you want to purchase ammo you either go to a range or you buy it online. And why do we get to determine how much ammo someone needs? A gun owner might go to a range and fire 500 rounds, so if someone has 500 rounds at home is that "too much"? And just like anything else, ammo is less expensive when purchased bulk than if you just buy a box of 50 rounds off the shelf.
3. Re: concealed carry licenses, we aren't Europe. The 2d Amendment might not prevent a state from barring concealed carry, but that is a question for the individual states to answer, just like California can enact a law banning certain types of rifles or Seattle can tax ammunition and firearms sales.
