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.

Hate to break it to you, but this wouldn't really work because liability insurance almost always offers exceptions for intentional acts. Maybe we could write an exception into the law, that might do the trick.

IDK, it's really silly that we talk about banning cars as this ridiculous idea; cars are fucking terrible. In addition to all the people they kill, the roads that support them have unbelievably high maintenance costs, the cars themselves are super expensive, they emit horrible pollution, and they're really loud. Banning them outright probably isn't ideal, but we could at least make public transportation the go-to option.
