    States Consider Gun Insurance for Law Abiding American Citizens Who Possess Firearms

    By cycloneous  |  Posted February 22, 2013  |  Connecticut
     
    There is a push now in some of the State legislatures to require law abiding American citizens who possess firearms to purchase insurance. The idea behind it is to have firearm owners to act more responsibly and to prevent accidents.

    While this sounds like a good idea on paper, several questions do arise, why do we continuously punish law abiding American citizens who possess firearms to protect their homes, property, themselves and most important their families? A second question that arises is this, to which I think is the most important, will the common criminal with a violent criminal history be purchasing this insurance? Will they go through the background checks as required by other law abiding American citizens who wish to possess firearms for the reasons state above?
