8. May I also suggest? All gun owners must have insurance to cover potential damage

including loss of life.
Let the insurance industry insure against loss of life and property due to the use of firearms.
- Those who are responsible and licensed will have lower rates.
- like cars, if a person has a gun and no insurance they can go to jail
- If a person loses a gun, they still must carry insurance on it since that gun may now be used in an illegal act for which they would be responsible because they did not properly care for their guns.
- Sales can only be made once a person has proof of insurance.

For one thing, this would move the cost of damage caused by guns to those who have them instead of society as a whole.
