So how about if they also subsidize gun owners for the benefits that they create? I don't mind if they tax if they also recognize the benefits because on net they will be subsidizing the purchase of guns.
Now one lawmaker in Illinois wants to mandate gun owners in the Land of Lincoln purchase a million dollar liability insurance policy each year in order to keep their guns.
Representative Kenneth Dunkin proposed Illinois House Bill 0687 in early February.
He says the money collected would keep taxpayers from footing hospital or funeral expenses for people killed by gun violence.
"There is a cost associated with loss of life through one's negligence," said Dunkin. "This is closing an economic gap so you the taxpayer won't have to continue to pay." . . . .
