I love the headline: "Daley: City Anticipating Gun Ban Overturn".
A proposal in Chicago to require gun-owners to carry liability insurance.
Of course, for a Constitutionally-protected right, licensing and insurance are clearly not permissible. Liability insurance is not a requirement for buying a car, only for operating it on public roads.
Gun controllers like to use the car/gun comparison, but only when it suits them:
1) You can buy a car without a criminal background check.
2) You don't have to show ID when you buy a car.
3) You can be a convicted criminal and you can still buy a car.
4) Hell, you can be an escaped criminal and you can still buy a car.
5) You can buy a car even if you don't have a driver's license.
6) You can buy a car even if you're under 18.
If getting a "license" to own a gun was as easy as getting a driver's license, I doubt that many Second Amendment activists would complain too loudly about that. But I doubt that Chicago is going to do that.
