I'm quite certain that gang- bangers, thieves, muggers, drug dealers, and other criminals will not be rushing out to purchase this insurance, on the chance that they might shoot somebody in their course of daily duties. And, I'm pretty sure that, had this law been in effect nationwide since the beginning of time, it would not have changed the details of a single "gun violence tragedy," ever... but, the proponents of this new impediment are really trying to surf the wave of Sandy Hook and Aurora, CA... It's another very thinly veiled attempt to make it suck to own a gun.

They tried to pass that in Mass a year or so again. It's back now being reconsidered with some more things they want to do to us.
