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.

But what's necessary first, larry-b, is to have research to support the actuarial tables. Unfortunately, the NRA successfully lobbied to have the CDC forbidden from doing that.

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.

The despicable NRA ad re Obama's children does something I haven't heard comment on. In the middle of their screed they throw in a comment on taxing the rich. Can someone possibly offer a logical link for me?
