These people never stop. Anyone who believes dems are pro 2A needs their head examined.

If any one need's insurance it's the police. 75 percent of their bullets misses the target.

Maybe we should propose a Obama style "tax" on every American male who does not own a firearm because according to the Constitution any male between 18-45 is a member of the militia and should own one to fulfill the mandate.

We need to constant remind these politicians that mandatory liability insurance on firearms is the modern day equivalent of the poll tax - and the poll tax was ruled unconstitutional.

If it is unconstitutional to charge people a tax to vote, which is a constitutionally protected right, then how is it constitutional to require people purchase insurance to keep and bear a firearm - which is also a constitutionally protected right?

I think it's good for us that they keep proposing all of this off the wall legislation. It seems to me that the more crazy shit they put on the table the more the polls favoring gun control drop off and the more it gets the gun people riled up.

They got away with taxing your choice NOT to participate in the Health Insurance market. (Which was a Republican idea to start with...)

Not participating in the Gun Insurance market should probably be at least an equal sin, if not worse.

Next up, taxing your choice not to eat vegetables.

Here we go again. Even though we, the law abidding gun owner, have not contributed to anyone being shot, wounded, injured or killed they still want us to pay for criminal acts, not the criminal. This may be the straw that broke the camel's back. If they try this crap in PA, my Reps will know my name off by heart cause their phone will never stop ringing and the emails will never stop! I have had enough of this BS from these anti-American Democrat liberal pukes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is exactly the rate for Warminster's last "shooting spree". Four shots fired, by one cop, missed with three, but the fourth shot found Grandma and killed her sorry ass. That'll teach her for living in a place where someone might have an argument with a family member. I'll bet she won't make that mistake again.

More collectivist BS.

I'll put an end to the whole debate quickly. The shooter in the Newtown murder spree was not a firearm owner. He was not in any capacity to have been covered under another person's insurance. He obtained his firearms by murdering the firearms owner, who would have been insured under such an insurance scheme (scam?). That insurance would not have paid out a dime to anyone, and even better, the policy holder is now dead, so the insurance company pockets every dime she ever paid them. Yea, what insurance company or paid off politician wouldn't vote for this?

Also, this is how you get gun control, the easy way.

Insurance for one handgun with no magazine: 10$ a month.
Insurance for one handgun with one magazine, 7 round capacity: 40$ a month.
Insurance for one handgun with one magazine, 15 round capacity: 800$ a month.
Insurance for one box of Blazer FMJ 9mm, 50 rounds: 700$ one time fee.
Insurance for an AR-15, no magazine: 80000$ one time fee, plus 4000$ per month.

If you want it, you pay. Oh, you can't pay? Then you can't have it. We didn't make it illegal, we shall not infringe, you just aren't rich enough to belong to *the club*.

Automatic rifles aren't illegal either. You just can't get one for less than a year's salary and a year of paperwork.
