2A advocates are stuck on the notion of possession being a right, not a privilege. So it's natural that any attempt to make ownership expensive will be interpreted as persecution. They already consider themselves victims being punished for what other people do.
(I'm pretty good at playing devil's advocate.)
Insurance would be fought because since "they" are responsible owners, *anything* they do would only be done ... well, responsibly. So they train to whatever extent, they practice, they don't go around town in the backs of trucks shooting into the air, they don't let kids play with guns, and they certainly do not commit mass murder, so there's "no reason" for them to (again) be punished by what "others" do. So, same argument as above.
I have already been hammered on this issue today by owners who feel put upon by "unchecked liberals" seeking "fruitless laws" that only hurt the "good guys."
Culture ... it's a real thing.
