In fact, I talked...I'm still intrigued by this. In fact, I talked with someone about the liability insurance concept who is familiar with the topic of gun ownership. From what I learned, the major fear for some gun owners is that they'll be taken away some day by the government. As such, they do not want any record that they own the gun, so liability insurance is met with "no way" even if they agree with the idea in general. <br /><br />My dad told me about a time when a bunch of guys he knew ran ads in the paper listing their guns for sale, then kept the printed ad as "proof" that they sold it, in case the government came looking. I don't know if that would actually work any better than a forged receipt to be honest. But that was in the 1970s and no one has come for their guns yet. I wonder if they still have the clippings.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256428101175260906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632126352829336664.post-21474341336528474282012-12-21T10:58:42.972-08:002012-12-21T10:58:42.972-08:00Thanks Phil.

Getting a handle on gun violence, in a way that doesn't outright ban guns (since we know realistically there is zero chance of that happening) is a difficult thing. But this seems to make sense.Bruce Cordellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909721180218892687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632126352829336664.post-3551899331704056252012-12-21T10:00:45.895-08:002012-12-21T10:00:45.895-08:00Bruce,
