Maryland House Democrats introduced a controversial gun safety bill requiring gun owners to forfeit their ability to wear or carry without firearm liability insurance.

Introduced by Del. Terri Hill, D-Howard County, the legislation would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.

"A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained and it covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person’s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation reads.

    Lower crime rates can exist in places with high rates of gun ownership, and high crime rates can exist without legal gun ownership at all. It’s almost like there are external factors and other differences between these countries that contribute to it, like wealth inequality or lack of social safety nets.

    “Ohhh you don’t care”

    Yeah well you don’t care if people get stabbed so we’re even then lol.

      Cool, sounds like you don’t need guns then.

      Yeah well you don’t care if people get stabbed so we’re even then lol.

      I’m not advocating people carry knives around, nor trying to block laws aimed at reducing knife crime. Are you this easily confused when you’re carrying your guns around?
