Insurance won't work, because as soon as a person violates the law, the ins company will say, not our problem. And if the firearm is stolen, and someone uses it illegally, the legal owner isn't responsible for any of it, because that was decided decades ago with autos and boats.
But once again, unless these laws and regulations are enforced without exception, it isn't going to work. The current ones aren't being enforced, what makes anyone think new ones will be? This is not a rhetorical question. The lawmakers fail to make it a requirement to enforce, with penalties on those responsible for their enforcement. So each and every one of us is responsible, because WE aren't holding the elected officials, and the law enforcement and criminal justice systems accountable.
Right now, liberal lawmakers craft and enact illegal legislation, and blame the conservatives when they don't succeed. And the conservatives don't trust the liberals to do "just a few common sense things" Ever heard Rep Giffords rant, and her party tries everything to walk it back, even as she keeps shouting ALL GUNS? I have a friend with 4 bullet scars in him. Never heard him rant about AKMs. Now the person who shot him, his questionable parentage, and where he will end up when he dies, sure. Anyone angry at SUVs because they got hit by someone on a cellphone? At the cellphone, or the person using it instead of just driving?
The games played by saying certain cosmetic features make a rifle evil, but without them they are fine, and they will be allowed? What rational and knowledgeable person THINKS that way? No one is the likely answer.
People are trying to protect me from myself claiming I'm more at risk with firearms in my home. Not your job. You are free to do whatever you want to in your home. None of my, or anyone else's business as long as you aren't harming others in your community without their consent.
I'm all for any and all mental and emotional health assistance that can be made available to anyone who wants or needs it. What rational person would be against helping others in crisis, or near crisis? We don't really need guidance counselors in schools any more, we need social workers and mental/emotional health councelors. And in colleges/universities as well. Most people struggle with basic life until well into their 20s these days.
