Guns or insurance, apparently. If I hit someone with my car, I owe them money. That's my liability for hitting them. I can insure myself against the possibility of me owing someone money for that.

I do not have any liability for someone stealing my gun and shooting someone. No court is going to force me to pay damages to a grieving family because some third party stole my gun. I have zero liability in a case like that. So what is it that I'm to insure? I'm liable for what *I* do with my gun, but I'm never responsible for the criminal acts of others.

In order for there to be liability insurance, there must first be a liability.
