LA County Considering Mandatory Insurance For Gun Owners

In the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attacks that killed 14 people, Los Angeles County officials are considering a step that many have considered on the heels of great gun violence — mandating that all firearms owners buy insurance. The proposal is being considered alongside several others officials say may “further prevent violence and improve safety in the workplace and public settings.” County lawyers, public safety and mental health officials were asked to look at the potential measures and report back on their efficacy.
