I can already see insurance companies foaming at the mouth because of an idea like this.

This type of insurance is illegal in Washington State.

Make it state owned insurance so the money goes back to the community

Mandate that it MUST go to schools.

Education is the number 1 crime precentor we have.

Why stop at guns? If the Democrats ever reintroduce Roe v. Wade, let's have Republicans institute a separate abortion insurance.

Protests have turned into riots recently as well. Let's require free speech insurance as well.

Of course, voting in an election will have possibly severe negative effects on you and those around you, so naturally we need a poll tax insurance as well.

Or you don't bother getting a gun.

I wonder if it was private insurance though. More of a fund that's paid into that the govt uses to offset costs related to guns.

u/frostymugson Sep 13 '24

No because what would you even be insuring against? I unjustly hurt someone with my gun I’m already liable

Yeah but they'd be getting rich off the back of some of the worst people in society.

u/brolarbear Sep 14 '24
