But none of any of this matters when you look at gun ownership as a Constitutionally guaranteed RIGHT, which is what it is. Forcing gun owners to carry insurance policies on their firearms is problematic because of this. Also, this seems like a roundabout way of forcing gun registration. If gun registration is unConstitutional, then how is forcing the owner to insure the firearm any less so?
