Democrats Push Bill Requiring Mandatory Gun Insurance

A New York Democratic lawmaker is behind a national push that would force gun owners to buy liability insurance or face a $10,000 fine. 
The Firearm Risk Protection Act, pushed by Rep. Carolyn Maloney and seven co-sponsors, follows efforts at the state level to create the controversial new kind of insurance for gun owners. 
"For too long, gun victims and society at large have borne the brunt of the costs of gun violence," Maloney said in a written statement. "My bill would change that by shifting some of that cost back onto those who own the weapons." 
The likelihood, though, of Maloney's bill gaining any traction is slim. Republicans control the House, and even states where Democrats have sizeable majorities have not approved the insurance idea.

Do your homework, "Right Speak."

How about "WHOLE" Speak.

Mandatory gun insurance is a BIPARTISAN movement. The ONLY point both parties "agree" on. Not much publicity on this fact.

It's the perfect NEOCON/NEOLIBERAL non-solution for them. Let the "free market" decide. Open up another financial opportunity!!! Gun insurance market! If you can't afford it...oh well.

Problem Solved. New industry, new profits.

Republicrats and Demcons ecstatic!


WHOLE.
