  1. Here’s the way I see it. I pay about $150/month for liability insurance on my car which I drive about 50 hours a month for a cost of $3 per hour of operation. So figure if I ever get in a shootout it will last 5 minutes at most, so $0.25 a year will cover any liability. I’ll send my agent a check for $20 for 80 years of coverage and call it good.

  2. WOW, that article in the WSJ is awesome! If only all papers and the MSM were this honest and fair. I truly believe the media is the reason why we are in this mess and why America is in the shape it’s in.

  4. & what they need is criminal safe zone insurance that guarantees that they can pay 20 million dollars for every shopper that is typically in their stores if they are shot dead, injured/wrongfull death. No more depraved indifference LLC crap. Randy

  5. In all fairness, I don’t think this is the best argument against gun insurance. The best argument is that criminals are not going to buy any. That means it is a tax on people who abide by the law, which is exactly the wrong way to impose taxes.

    If you wanted to do it right, you would require dealers to insure their guns against “theft” and other non-background-checked sales. The honest dealers would pay roughly nothing, and the dishonest dealers would pay roughly a boatload.

    It is a well-known fact that about 1% of the gun dealers sell 90% of the guns that are eventually used by gangs. The government has no right to stop them, but the government can absolutely force them to pay the insurance premium.

  6. Two points of contention: Gun control is never rational. Making sense implies that it is easy to understand, one would assume it invokes the use of easily understood statistics/facts, which themselves support directly the opposite direction of gun control. But then again, Biden has never exactly been looked upon as a smart guy, so this does indeed make sense coming from him.

  7. An Aussie friend of mine (who is anti-gun) was telling me about the demographics of Australia recently. He said that 90% of the population is just in a few cities. There’s very little rural folks because there’s just not that much arable land for which to sustain large swaths of farmland. For this reason, gun ownership was really not that high to begin with.

  8. I copied this from the “Second City Cop” blog. It’ll be interesting to see if it pans out.

    LA Killer Headed East?
    From a source that has been correct in the past:
    SCC: Please warn officers, UNCONFIRMED info from a very good Fed source: the LA Cop, Dorner, is either in Chicago already, or headed here on a train.

    Up to you to post this, but I’d hate to see our people get hurt for what LAPD created. The news says they lost track of him, my source says that’s not true.

    Be extra careful. Put your egos aside. This guy is bad news and it will obviously end in more bloodshed. Hopefully not in Chicago.

    Stay Safe.
    Keep an eye out.

  10. I just read the Posted on July 9, 2011 by Robert Farago article at the top of this column. I agree with everything Robert said. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who has a hell of a time being accurate with double action .357 rounds in it. I thought it was just me! I am getting a trigger job and the hammer bobbed too.

  11. How much is this fiasco going to cost the tax payers of CA?

    – Incoming lawsuits from the blue Toyota incident, prob from multiple sources on that street alone.

    – Now they’ve burned down someone’s house for 1 guy. Where we’re all the non-lethal alternatives I’ve seen on TV specials for years now?

    – Overtime and resource costs for a statewide manhunt have to be in the millions.

    Not to mention this whole thing makes the CA police like like a gang of thugs doing an execution, pathetic. Is this who we turn to for protection?
