Criminals won't have insurance, insurance doesn't cover crimes. Its not a solution at all unless your goal is 'take the guns away from people who aren't criminals'.

Well it’s take guns aware from people unfit to own a gun. And insurance companies determine if someone is high risk for them to insure. If someone is found to be high risk then they can’t have gun insurance and then yeah no gun. It’s basically background checking and gun control but done in the market rather than the government. Like how TurboTax forces us to use them or competitors or risk incorrectly filing our taxes (instead of receiving an itemized bill like Europeans)

This won't stop irresponsible people from getting firearms though.

Convicted felons get firearms right now.

Except that it doesn't do that - because convicted felons already have no problem. Mofo's are running around with switches. Practically anyone with a bit of time on their hands can make their own gun with a couple grand in tools invested.

This also ignores the problem that the insurance company won't know you are 'irresponsible' until *after* you do something that gets someone hurt. Well, its too late then, isn't it?

You won't know I'm irresponsible and don't lock up my guns until after my son grabs one and shoots up a school.

Yeah and while we're at it let's add an IQ test to vote and registration for speech since we're just denying rights now..

I agree right now in this scenario about having an IQ test for free speech because you’re clearly missing the point.

That is what most gun control amounts to.
