Cars kill people. Ban cars? No. Require liability insurance for guns.

No, but liability insurance on guns, like cars, might work out very well. I imagine the liability insurance on a 22 or a hunting rifle would be peanuts compared to the liability insurance on an assault rifle which would probably be prohibitive. Let the free markets decide.

Sure, make the NRA liable for all American gun deaths.

Libertarianism in action. Risk/reward.

@Burnley123 So i drive drunk and kill someone but you pay for it?

@HoraceGreenley yes that's what happens in areas where there are a lot of traffic accidents, insurance is very high. You nailed it.

@GrinNude How does Burnley pay for it? That's his point. He's shifting liability to a third party.

@GrinNude @HoraceGreenley l

I'm going to say that guns and cats are not the same thing. Guns are specifically designed for killing people so it makes no sense to insure them against their design purpose.

This whole analogy is ridiculous.

@Burnley123 I disagree. You are shifting liability to a third-party. You are explicitly moving liability from the perpetrator of a crime to an organization of which the perpetrator may or may not belong.

My analogy is perfectly on point.

@Burnley123 You dont think cats are designed to kill people? You clearly have never kept any in the house. Come over and meet Murdercat 😄
