Gun companies should be liable for people being shot with their guns
Gun insurance... Should be a thing... It's the single most compelling thing I have heard someone say about guns and wonder why it wasn't a thing... Insurance companies don't fuck around.
It is a thing. Lots of companies do it. Most prominent one I can think of off the top of my head is USAA. But there are others you'll find (I just hear their ads a lot on the radio)
As far as I know it's not required like it is to drive a car and it should be... You should be required to have insurance on each firearm that you own.
Nah it's not required anywhere I have lived.
Yeah that's what I mean...
This but unironically
Are many guns bought directly from the manufacturer?
If guns had a function besides murder, that would be a bad argument, but they don't. Defense is just the threat of murder.
Shooting at the range for fun, I suppose, but if people are actually serious about that they'd want to store their guns there because there's no need for them anywhere else.
The range you speak of is often just the woods, or even a backyard many places. Owned guns for about half my life (35), learned to shoot at 9, and I have never been to a paid range in my life.
That said I saw 2 people open carrying at Kroger just yesterday. Those people are ridiculous. Neither had any strap/cover over the top to prevent someone from easily taking it. I am pro more regulations, but they need to come from a place of understanding of they won't go anywhere but be turned into propaganda used to drive people into voting conservative. (Even when it's Trump who said to take the guns first and deal with the process later)
