FWIW.. it's important to recognize that auto insurance came about due to tort issues.

However if a firearm is used to injure or kill people, there are existing criminal laws to handle the problem. Many states allow 'personal bonds' to be posted in the place of insurance.
Requiring insurance as a financial guarantee against the commission of a heinous crime is a bit odd. Since I assume we're not selling 'license to kill', I'm back to my original thesis.
It's a back-channel way to ban gun ownership.
