And - I can' t believe I missed this at first -
NO Insurance company will provide liability coverage for INTENTIONAL HARM. They also don' t cover suicides.
So - the only coverage would be for negligence - which are a small minority of gun deaths - the vast majority being suicide
So no payday for all the murder victims..
It's not primarily about intentional harm. If you look at the various policies in the link I quoted, the insurance is intended to benefit the policy holder, and (in the case of the NRA policies), is geared chiefly towards self-defense shootings. If you get sued for shooting an intruder, a gun liability policy would - among other things - relieve you of the nightmare of having yourself represented by a public defender.
You'd think gun owners would be all over this.
