Stop subsidizing the cost of gun ownership by ensuring that gun owners pay the full costs of their gun ownership.

Other than terrorist weapons of mass killing, the details of gun ownership should not be regulated. However, gun owners should not expect the costs of gun ownership to be subsidized by others. Purchasers of new guns should be required to show proof of liability insurance or bond in an amount sufficient to cover potential liability for misuse - just as auto drivers are required to show proof of liability insurance. Insurance costs for dangerous weapons will reduce their numbers in time.
There are many guns available for misuse that will not be not be covered by an insured owner. A gun victims compensation fund should be established to compensate innocent victims of uninsured gun violence or their survivors. This fund should be funded by a federal surcharge on ammunition purchases.
