Mandatory gun insurance legislation

Mandatory gun insurance before lawmakers in 4 states

Lawmakers in four states are considering measures that would require gun owners to maintain liability insurance or face a fine of up to $10,000.

Current gun liability insurance efforts are underway in Hawaii, New Hampshire, New York and Los Angeles. The measures are similar to one introduced last year in Congress by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-NY. Maloney's bill, the Firearm Risk Protection Act, would require proof of liability insurance before someone is allowed to purchase a gun. Failure to have the insurance could result in the fine.

So, Los Angeles is a state now. I wasn't aware of that change.

Question: how are they going to get insurance companies to pay out for the results of an illegal act?

However, that does bring up the question, "Does your auto liability insurance pay out to victims if you hit someone while breaking a law?"

Actually, it does. That's one of the reasons for having liability insurance. Although, most insurance companies won't pay out willing. That's why we also have lawyers and courts.

Implimentation would be defacto registration.
