This is precisely the free market moment which would inhibit an angry or misaligned young person from acquiring a high capacity firearm from a gun store. The agent might well be saying: "Sure you can have an AR-15 young man, but the premium will be $50k per year, up front".
Ideally the background check, etc. (and I'm ok with more etceteras) would keep all angry or misaligned young (or old) people from acquiring a......gun. Not just those who can't come up with the insurance money.
If it's really just about making owning a gun more expensive, why give all that money to the insurance companies? Why not just tax the crap out of the gun sales and keep the money in Hawaii?
