You know if it saves just ONE child, it would all be worth it.

Well if you want to equate automobiles to guns then do you think people should pay insurance on each gun they own? That would seem like a good idea to me.

Yea...all the criminals who commit the vast majority of gun crimes will be sure to get their insurance.

Plus there is a little thing called a constitution, but who gives a flip about that.

People have a first amendment right to free speech, but that doesn't mean you can shout fire in a crowded movie theater. All rights have limits. The second amendment is no exception.

And gun nuts live in this bizarre world where criminals can do whatever they like without consequences so there is no point making laws for anything. Maybe we should get rid of speed limits since criminals won't obey them anyways. Maybe we should get rid of laws on narcotics since criminals won't obey them anyways.

These laws are not meant to completely eliminate bad behavior, but they are meant to make illegal behavior much more difficult. Two bit criminals don't have unlimited resources to circumvent the law. Not every criminal is a member of a well connected organized crime organization. If you force people to show proof of insurance for each gun they buy then it will make it a lot harder for criminals to get these guns.

Moreover, law abiding citizens do stupid things with guns believe it or not. Making everyone have insurance for each gun they own would not be such a bad idea.

Finally, you made the comparison between guns and cars, now you are saying they are two completely different things. Seems like you are being very hypocritical.
