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.

Who would buy the liability insurance? Criminals?
@HoraceGreenley Did you know that purchasing liability insurance is a requirement for operating a car? A similar rule could be made for owning a gun. Imagine that!!

@ElwoodBlues Yeah dude...I own a car
@HoraceGreenley
I own a car
Glad to hear it! Did you know that the vast majority of criminals drive registered cars with paid up insurance? Did you know that they do so with valid drivers' licenses? Yeah, there are a few DUI criminals who get out and drive with suspended licenses, but most criminals have to maintain a valid drivers license. So why can't guns in the US be treated like cars? Why can't we require registration and permits and licenses for guns like we do for cars?

@ElwoodBlues We do have tegistrations and licences for guns.
@HoraceGreenley Who is we???

As of January 1, 2019, seven states and the District of Columbia required individuals to register their ownership of certain firearms with local law enforcement agencies. Another nine states explicitly prohibited the creation of such registries. The remaining states neither required registration of firearms nor prohibited the creation of registries in the future. See the map and table below for further information.

The states that have approved permitless carry laws are: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

@HoraceGreenley
I've already demonstrated to you that in much of the USA you need neither a license or a registration to purchase and carry a gun. Please try to keep up!

@ElwoodBlues Talking to you about firearms is like talking to a virgin about sex.

Are you really this clueless?
@HoraceGreenley Here are the facts:

No registration, no license needed in many states. Why deny it? Are you really this clueless??

@ElwoodBlues Obviously you have never owned a firearm.
