I keep thinking back to smoking, and limiting where people can smoke. Before the 1970’s it just wasn’t an issue. But states like MN began to pass laws restricting where people could smoke—they didn’t try to totally ban it, just began to change attitudes. And if YOU are held accountable/liable for what happens with your weapon then I think you will secure it better, and maybe not buy a very dangerous one in the first place.

re: #56 uncah91 The argument has been made the the damage caused by firearms gives the government “compelling interest” to require insurance. Not sure our current SCOTUS would follw that reasoning, but chances are they won’t support a ban either.
