I think if you need insurance to drive cars, you should need insurance to own a gun. Let the insurance companies make it hideously expensive if they're going to cover shootings accidental shootings and crime based shootings.
I mean one benefit is that the insurance companies would probably go after the gun industries and lobbies to make guns in theory safer and the insurance companies are the one group that can financially take on the gun industry.
Also would allow legal reform on guns. If your caught with a gun with no insurance its a massive fine plus a massive boost in your coverage costs. Or even jail time. Certainly gets around the illegal guns argument. If you need to get a carry permit the costs of insurance could be punitive and discouraging.
Plus it would open a way to compensate victims.
