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.

      It’s up to me to determine that your reasoning for legal guns is silly and cowardly and there are dozens and dozens of better reasons for legal guns which are neither silly nor cowardly.

      Why you literally didn’t go with ‘home self-defense from intruders’ when that actually happens to people I don’t know. Instead you go with ‘I need an AR to protect myself from rattlesnakes’ which, granted, has given me a good laugh this morning, but it’s the worst reason I have ever heard anyone make for legal guns.

      Honestly, I’m starting to think you’re some sort of troll account for someone who is actually against legal guns.

        this is an appeal to ridicule. it is not a rebuttal.

          Trying to do the ‘this is not a logical argument’ thing when you just lied about what I said in another thread is not going to work very well.

          Especially when you are trying to go with ‘protection from mountain lions’ over ‘protection from home invaders’ as a reason to have guns legal.
