A typical handgun in the typical gun store can be had from $300 to $900 (and of course, can go WAY higher). Until the Progressives started on their current ‘don’t waste the Sandy Hook crisis” jeremiad to disarm the populace (even as they admit their gun grabs would NOT have stopped any of the recent mass killings), the cost of an AR (you know, the kind of semiautomatic rifle with cosmetics that cause pansie Democrats to have to change their shorts often) would be in the $1 – $2,000 range. The incremental costs are mostly just the ammo and range time.
Well, not only have NY State Legislative Democrats (with a few Republicans on par with “useful idiots”) already stuck it to their gun owners already, but are about to pile on with more:
The latest bill, introduced in the New York State Assembly by Democrat Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, seeks to force all gun owners to purchase at least $1 million in liability insurance to cover any damages caused by firearms. It would be a mandatory requirement for anyone who owns a gun, as those who refuse to comply within 30 days would have their firearms confiscated.
“Any person in this state who shall own a firearm shall, prior to such ownership, obtain and continuously maintain a policy of liability insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars specifically covering any damages resulting from any negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person,” the bill, S2353, states.
“Failure to maintain such insurance shall result in the immediate revocation of such owner’s registration, license and any other privilege to own such firearm,” the bill adds.
