18. I will agree that people who don't own guns are responsible with their guns.

Further debate on the subject of the level of gun owners and how responsible certain groups of gun owners are is more appropriate in the other gun forum.

My point is that that requiring all gun owners to have insurance on their firearms may seem like a good idea on the surface but may have unintended consequences for gun control advocates as it may increase membership in the NRA.

Not only would the NRA make money from the increased membership and by selling insurance to gun owners but it would also make money from gun safety and concealed carry classes which many gun owners would take in order to get a discount on their insurance.

As a gun owner I really don't have any problem with obtaining liability insurance for my firearms as long as the policy was for me and not for each of my firearms. I feel the cost would be reasonable.

Exactly, in which case you gunners won't be insured and in violation of the law. That works. Hoyt Apr 2013 #15

The NRA would simply start selling gun owner insurance.... spin Apr 2013 #16
