the insurance industry is better suited to distribute
money to pay medical claims than government is... in that a private sector solution is more efficient than a public sector solution.
...
(that this is financialy impossible - the liability is enormous and no insurer would cover)
Is it possible or impossible for insurance companies to cover gun injuries and claims?
There are approximately as many gun deaths as auto related deaths each year. The insurance companies manage to cover auto deaths as well as an immense amount of property damage and still make a profit. Hawaii insurers currently manage to cover drivers here despite a large number of uninsured drivers (1 in 7?). I think they're capable of adding gun insurance to their coverage, distributing the claims, and making a profit as well.
Side note for constitutional purists: It could be argued the pursuit of happiness in the Declaration of Independence gives drunks a God given right to pursue their happiness, in a car, at 60 mph, uninfringed by government, and guaranteed by the founding fathers. Thank God there's no NLA (National Liquor Association) arguing for and pushing that insane agenda with massive donations to politicians who pass legislation in their favor.
