6 States Plotting Insurance Attacks on Gun Owners

A new spark of gun-control proposals has been springing up across the country since January, and the District of Columbia looks like it’s next in line. The D.C. council is working to discourage gun ownership as it attempts to implement a bill that would require potential gun owners to buy liability insurance. Under proposed rules, without a policy of at least $250,000, D.C. would not consider applications for the registration of a firearm. Should the bill pass the full council, it will be the first jurisdiction in the country to require gun owners to carry insurance.

Unsurprisingly, the new bill has drawn the criticism of the National Rife Association as well as other advocates, who call it a “frontal assault against the Bill of Rights.” But much to these programs’ contempt, D.C. is not the only place in the nation plotting an attack on gun owners. These 6 others states have already been brewing up similar strategies.
