Letter: Insurance needed on gun sales
Wednesday, April 26, 2000 | 9:38 a.m.
Automobile owners are required by law to drive responsibly, consider the traffic and adjust to driving conditions. Of course, they have a vested interest in driving safely because they could be injured just as much as the other guy in a bad wreck, not to mention the loss of use of their automobile and cost of repair.
Drivers are also required by law to insure their automobiles with liability insurance in order to pay for damages caused by their automobile, which as we all know too well can be deadly.
Require gun purchasers to buy an insurance policy on each and every gun they buy that is a liability policy for that gun as long as it is owned by that individual.
The policy would cover damages caused by the gun up to and including death benefits. The owner would be totally responsible for the control of the insured gun and be responsible for the control of its whereabouts, storage and safety. A law such as this might even get the approval of the insurance industry to back it.
