Maryland House Democrats introduced a controversial gun safety bill requiring gun owners to forfeit their ability to wear or carry without firearm liability insurance.
Introduced by Del. Terri Hill, D-Howard County, the legislation would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.
"A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained and it covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person’s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation reads.
Bro there’s so many tools that can be used to kill people. Can’t legislate all of them out of reach of everyone.
The core issue doesn’t lie with what tool is used.
Guns aren’t tools. People with guns are the tools.
A gun or an assault rifle is specifically designed to harm and kill people. At a distance no less. A sword? Maybe. But it’s not nearly as deadly and efficient, so it could be insured at a lower rate.
