The beauty about gun

The beauty about gun liability insurance is that it would be a perfect "free market" solution.  If you have easily accessable high capacity weapons, kids, and mental issues within the family (including the kids), then your rates should be $1000/mo, otherwise a responsible person with a weapon for security kept in a safe might have rates of $50/mo.

It's rather frustrating to see some people vehemently oppose doing anything about a real tragedy, while my employer decided to heighten security over a non-event. All that happened is someone sent an e-mail that sounded kind of threatening, but a police investigation ruled it non-credible. So why did the company decide on extra security measures? Because, as Thom's promo soundbite says, they're terrified little people.
