Meanwhile, back in Gungrabber Land

Legislators in at least five states are considering a requirement that gun owners must buy insurance to keep their guns.

“I believe that if we get the private sector and insurance companies involved in gun safety, we can help prevent a number of gun tragedies every year,” said David P. Linsky, a Democratic state representative in Massachusetts who wants to require gun owners to buy insurance. He believes it will encourage more responsible behavior and therefore reduce accidental shootings. “Insurance companies are very good at evaluating risk factors and setting their premiums appropriately,” he added.

And in Oregon: “HB 3200 not only bans most modern guns and magazines, it allows warrantless searches of your home, requires background checks and registration for a firearm you already own and as-of-yet undefined storage requirements. We say ‘a firearm’ because even if you comply with the restrictions in this bill you may still only own one [assault weapon].”
