    Absolutely NOT. That is called "infringement".

    Isn't it a source of continued proof that our education system is a failure? Seems so many Americans see our Rights as government granted privileges? Like driving is. We've no right to Transportation. Therefore the State CAN require insurance as a conditional.

    Now, who wants to propose we demand Liberals carry Liberal Voter Risk Insurance? So we can sue for damages when one more Liberal fee, tax or regulation gets passed. Bad part is they'd just find a way to pay with our own money.

    They will find themselves in a very bad position. If they expect I'll jump right on that and go buy indulgence insurance.

    Hard to believe the Constitution allows government to demand insurance in order to exercise a Right.

    Don't mention how Obamacare became a tax because that is different.

    Don't mention car insurance because while traveling is a Right (Liberty Clause), when one asks for a drivers license (legally driving is different from traveling), one promises to obey all the provisions of the vehicle code.

    The 2nd amendment guarantees a Right. I don't think insurance can be required to exercise a Right.

    Answer: no.

    Already have insurance on my guns as well as other items I own, and of course insurance on my vehicles, so if anything gets stolen, I replace the items stolen or damaged. Also have insurance for the off chance that someone comes onto my property and harms/kills themselves in some manner.

    I don't see the need for gun specific insurance on the off chance that someone breaks in, and needs to be stopped with a firearm, to keep them from harming me or someone else in my home.

    As I've read comments from reps in the insurance industry say, just because it gets legislated doesn't mean they have to offer it.

    So, if required by law to have, but no one offers it, in effect the second amendment is over, so it'll be time for the Supreme Court to make a ruling.

    no. can't afford it. barely able to afford the right ot keep and bear arms as it is, they jacked up all the gun owning costs in California! it's like 50% more expensive than outside, and with much more limited selection so for some guns that's practically worthless outside it's a $1000 gun inside!

    until you are restricted to california "approved" handguns you would never believe what the crappiest of crap handguns- a RG10 goes for around here. last i saw one it was $300. outside, you'd have ot pay someone to take it off your hands. (or drop it off at a gun buy-back)

    And repeal this crap In 2005, Congress handed the secure practices of Lawful commerce in hands Act, a invoice that made gun vendors and producers immune from court docket cases. mutually as no different marketplace enjoys the style of specific government secure practices, the nationwide Rifle association had pushed the regulation for years as its precise precedence. It hailed the act as “the main significant piece of expert-gun law in two decades.” They have been precise. The invoice wiped out a chain of court docket cases further by making use of mayors around the rustic to hold the gun marketplace in charge for the carnage in united statesa.’s cities. The NRA ultimately scored this legislative victory using fact of information from an substantial and unpredicted best chum: the Pentagon. decrease than the management of Secretary of protection Donald Rumsfeld, the branch of protection suggested that the NRA-subsidized invoice became needed to holding united statesa.’s gun marketplace. In turn, the NRA heavily promoted the Pentagon’s assessment that the invoice might help guard nationwide secure practices. with none information, the Pentagon’s precise attorney, Daniel Dell'Orto, suggested that the invoice might “help guard our nationwide secure practices” by making use of holding “an marketplace that performs a severe function in assembly the procurement desires of our adult men and ladies in uniform.” of direction, no immunity exists for different industries that provide our military with progressed weaponry or conflict kit, however the Bush administration became desperate to help advance the NRA’s time table.

    Just as soon as they require violent video game makers, makers of violent movies directed at teens, women with mini-skirts, and hip-hop groups to all get liability insurance.

    We should require liability insurance to vote too. If you vote for an idiot or someone that commits a crime, your policy has to pay up.
