In the wake of recent tragic mass shooting incidents and the annual proliferation of firearm deaths and shootings either intentional or accidental; there should be clear personal accountability for the owners of firearms to be responsible for the use and consequences of their weapons at all times.
Licensing & registration establishes a path of ownership in the event of injuries or death. Liability insurance puts a financial onus on the weapon owners to assure that some level of compensation is available to the injured person(s) or their surviving families.
