Dozer:
Background checks are already in place for 95% or more of the guns sold in this country.
AFAIK, all new guns are already sold with trigger locks. In NC, you have to sign a statement affirming that you understand the law with regards to keeping the weapon secured and out of the reach of minors.
I would draw the line with regards to liability insurance. You are required to have liability insurance on your car in the event YOU are involved in an accident. Not if someone ELSE steals your car and misuses it. Very few people here would agree that what we need in the country is more litigation. Should you be civilly liable if I steal your knife, axe, chainsaw, mower, etc? Why are guns any different? It doesn't matter how well you secure your weapons, if I was determined to get them, I could. Should you then lose your home and life savings as a consequence?
