Midknight Review -- new and revised: Some cities are about to require $250,000 worth of insurance coverage per gun owners. Thanks trial lawyers of America.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — The D.C. Council is considering requiring people to purchase liability insurance before they can get a license to own a gun. The bill would mandate that prospective gun owners maintain at least a $250,000 policy. The policy would cover damages from negligent acts or intentional acts that aren’t undertaken in self-defense.

A handful of states are considering similar measures, but none has passed such a law.

The District of Columbia has some of the nation’s strictest gun-control laws. Handguns were banned in the city before a landmark 2008 Supreme Court ruling. A council committee will hold a hearing Thursday on the insurance requirement.

Editor’s notes: what fails to be mentioned in the reporting of this type of story is this fact: such legislation does not make us all safer. Rather, it only provides lawyers with funding pools needed for their lawsuits. You can bet that the trial lawyers in D.C. are lobbying hard for this sort of “solution.”

Me? I will report all my guns “stolen” before I get such coverage. I am buying insurance to protect from a lawsuit should I ever have to shoot someone breaking into my home, however. You can get such coverage through the NRA.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
