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.
Oh I understand now. You’re fine with paying more than the cost of materials when that extra profit goes towards the services that the gun lobby provides.
Services like “ensuring far-right Republicans have plenty of money for their campaign” and “coordinating anti-vax astroturfing campaigns during a pandemic”. You know, the usual pro-gun stuff.
What you will not tolerate is any of that money going to the victims of gun violence.
Yes, they should make medical care free. Unfortunately it sounds like you’d get upset and threaten to kill them if they did because it’s not a “physical item” like “record profits for evil people” is.
No, they provide a good, and for that they deserve to be compensated for their time and materials if you so choose to support their business. You see the people who work for these companies and yes even the owners typically like things like “food” or “housing,” (I know, what needy little bitches, huh? Food AND shelter?)
Just quit while you’re behind. You’re not advocating that the gun companies divert their funds, as your comment would suggest. You’re advocating that people, including poor people, pay $50 a month that they didn’t need to just to have the right to protect themselves from victimization. Why do you hate the poor? You’re seemingly rich enough that an extra $50 a month is nothing to you, but that isn’t the reality for like 85% of Americans, so step out of your ivory tower or quit screaming bullshit out the window.
Healthcare is a service not a good. Jesus christ you’re stupid.
Help us make a sense out your long comments. How are guns ‘protecting you from victimization’ exactly, any anectodes you want to share?
I’ll give the averse to reading a short story.
One day, 'round the first couple weeks of the panda, I found myself needing to make a walmart run with my then-gf. As we’re walking through the parkinglot, some dude decides this is a good time to pull a knife. I decided it was a good time to slide the jean vest back revealing a glock and put my hand on the grip, he decided then that it would behoove him to put the knife away and calmly walk in the other direction. Idk what he wanted, could have been my wallet in this cashless society, could have wanted to chuck my GF into his van never to be seen again, didn’t want to find out. I ended up getting my groceries rather than robbed or murdered so I consider that a win.
I liked that story, can picture the tumbleweed going by, can you write another one?
Asks for anecdotes, literally
“Yeah but that’s anecdotal”
I asked for anecdotes, not for a completely made up story cowboy, sorry my last comment wasn’t sarcastic enough to make that clear. I’ll still give you that it was a well written one
What do you think an anecdote is? My story, while not verifiable, is true. Don’t ask for it if you don’t want it chump.
I’m loving watching you awkwardly try and reconcile “I am a defender of the poor” while also simping for neoliberalism.
You don’t even know who the owners are do you? They’re not wanting for food nor shelter.
Nope, I’m not advocating that, I’m openly mocking you. Good that you finally noticed.
Yep, we’ve already covered that. Poor people couldn’t afford guns and you didn’t even pretend to care, let alone do anything about it. Now you don’t want to pay a subscription fee for your guns so you’re pretending it’s because you’re a hero to the poor.
As is liabilty insurance.
Maybe you should stick to the opinions the gun lobby feeds you.
My guy this is simply the way the world currently works, ducking your head in the sand to pretend you win an internet argument isn’t only sad, it’s also ineffective. Ok great, let’s pretend I don’t give a fuck about
myselfthe poor, this law still effects us more than the rich, and you know that, which is why your entire stupid argument is based on “me not caring” not “me actually being incorrect.” You’re fooling nobody.why aren’t the owners wanting food? Because they can afford it? How do they get their money? OH YEAH, selling product.
I’ve been mocking you this whole time too, na na na na boo boo.
Poor people can save up, I did, $20 bucks a check for a year. One time payment of $500 is cheaper than years of recurring monthly payments. Could you drop $50 a month and just be fine? I can’t even afford netflix my dude, must be nice in your ivory tower.
Of course, the government isn’t forcing you to get healthcare (or they didn’t used to anyway, but I disagree with that too.)
They’re not forcing you too buy a gun either clown.
You just say whatever melodramatic shit enters your head.
They are forcing gun owners to get the insurance, it just so happens everyone alive is a “health” owner.
Ya mama.
