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.

    The subtext was no one needs a fucking gun and poor people should spend the little money they have on something a bit higher in the food/shelter priorities list.

    If your idea of protesting involves carrying a gun. You are going to get shot soon and the pigs will get away with self-defence, not very smart.

    If your idea of protecting your family involves a gun, I’m pretty sure in the US it’s statistically easier for your kids to shoot themselves with your gun so you are not really protecting them.

    I don’t cheer when a poor person child dies, how could you imply that. Are we talking guns or insulin here? Are guns keeping people alive?

    Not alt right sorry, been on the left for a few decades, before it became trendy on lemmy. It’s just that I can’t stand pro gun idiots I’m general, and it really saddens me when they are on the left, like the nra didn’t already have enough idiots supporters
