Maryland House Democrats introduced a controversial gun safety bill requiring gun owners to forfeit their ability to wear or carry without firearm liability insurance.
Introduced by Del. Terri Hill, D-Howard County, the legislation would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.
"A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained and it covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person’s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation reads.
@RagingRobot @ArcaneSlime How?
Well it makes it much more likely that someone will be shot for one thing lol. The more guns in the neighborhood the more likely someone is getting shot or a child gets a hold of it by mistake. All kinds of stuff can happen and just introducing a gun to the situation statistically increases the chance someone gets hurt.
@RagingRobot i would prefer a working-class based self-armed force and I will be joining it for revolution. Giving up weapon only makes you unsafe.
Only weak men need weapons.
This is just might makes right ideaology. What about women? Should they be subjugated to the will of any criminal that happens to be stronger than them?
@agitatedpotato @RagingRobot doesn’t count women as human.
Oh my god listen to yourself
Send us your address, all us lemmy users can chip in and and gift you a big big ass weapon for your 14th birthday next year
@SkippingRelax Please be quite if you can’t argue my argument directly.
That wasn’t an argument, you vomited some words that you read somewhere. That as direct as one can be: grow up
@RagingRobot Then who is gonna protect you? Police?
Protect me from who? I have never been in a situation where I need to pull a gun on someone and I never will be. If someone wants to rob me they can I have insurance. They would really have no reason to want to kill me. I’m not anyone’s enemy.
What are you so scared of?
@RagingRobot From Nazi’s militia, from school shooters, from your boss, your landlord and make sure your insurance really wants to pay for your claim.
Sounds like you scared of nothing? It only proves you are a landlord, business owner, or you are a white man from Nazi’s militia.
I only have insurance because it was required to get a mortgage but I am thankful to have it in case I need it. I need a house to live in and I don’t need a gun but I’m not even complaining that it’s required. So not because I am scared exactly but yeah that’s how I deal with risk. In a modern civilized way.
I don’t lock myself in my house with a bunch of guns peeking out the window waiting for bad guys to show up. The average person doesn’t need to worry about that stuff.
You mean you have never shot your boss or at least your landlord?
