IL State Rep. Kenneth Dunkin proposes mandatory $1,000,000 insurance policy to own a gun


How's this fancy attack on our 2nd Amendment rights in President Obama's old stomping grounds. IL State Rep. Kenneth Dunkin has sponsored an amendment to HB 0687 - the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act --

Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act. Provides that any person who owns a firearm in this State shall maintain a policy of liability insurance in the amount of at least $1,000,000 specifically covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person. Provides that a person shall be deemed the owner of a firearm after the firearm is lost or stolen until such loss or theft is reported to the police department or sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the owner resides.

Provides that the Department of State Police shall revoke and seize a Firearm Owner's Identification Card previously issued under this Act if the Department finds that the person to whom such card was issued possesses or acquires a firearm and does not submit evidence to the Department of State Police that he or she has been issued in his or her name a liability insurance policy in the amount of at least $1,000,000 specifically covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person. Effective January 1, 2010. (Emphasis Added)


If Rep. Barbara Boyd of Ohio & Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson fail in their latest attempt at outlawing guns in Cleveland, don't be surprised if this isn't their next step.
