Illinois Bill Would Require Gun Owners
to Buy $1M in Liability Insurance
An Illinois state lawmaker is proposing that gun owners
be required to carry personal liability insurance of at least $1 million
"specifically covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts
involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person"
A gun owner would be responsible after a firearm is lost or stolen
until the loss or theft is reported
to the police department or sheriff
of the jurisdiction in which the owner resides
Police would be empowered to pull the gun license of anyone
who does not submit evidence of having the required insurance
The measure is now in the House Rules Committee.

Would the founding fathers have considered the right to bear arms
a protection for the citizenry against the government
or vice versa?
