The NRA is the biggest insurer. More money in their pockets.

NO reasonable gun owner has any problems with such insurance. I have a PLUP, plus a good safe and active burglar alarm monitoring, yes, I am liable both economically and *morally* if any of my firearms were to be stolen and subsequently used in a crime.

On the other hand, people who have illegal, unregistered guns don't give a fuck, and usually don't have any assets worth suing them over anyway.

It's not a bad idea, but I don't think it's going to end 'gun culture'.
