Deadly shooting on Oregon college campus

The risk would be spread out over a 100 millions or so plus gun owners with the 300 millions or so guns having a far better safety record then cars.

Hmm. OK, there are already expensive licensing requirements for owning fully automatic weapons

If you would set the rate for gun liability by the real world claim rates for such insurance I can not see how it would be more then a few hundreds dollars a year at worst.

Gun owners will be expected to pay for a significant portion of the societal policing cost. The costs will be in the thousands of dollars per year per gun.

Neither of the things you mentioned is a right mentioned in the Constitution. Most insurance on a gun is currently to ensure the value against theft. No liability involved.

Hmm. OK, there are already expensive licensing requirements for owning fully automatic weapons. Suppose handguns and non-hunting long guns were simply bumped up to that class? After all, it's a lot harder to sneak a 30.06 onto campus or into a theater. Just speculating.

Not everyone who owns a gun has the ability to carry insurance. It would put the cost of owning out of the reach of many Americans.

The demonstrators blamed the massacre here last week on two things: a failure to treat mental health problems and the designation of Umpqua Community College as a gun-free zone.

Many of those we spoke to said they had travelled to Roseburg from elsewhere in Oregon to make their voices hear.

They had no shortage of complaints. Mr Obama wanted to take away their guns, they said. He was interfering in state business. He favoured "Muslim immigration".

Several signs said he should go home "to Kenya". One proclaimed "Christian Lives Matter", an apparent reference to the Black Lives Matter campaign against police brutality.

The hostility to the Democratic president here in Republican rural Oregon was not just political, it was personal.

The gun nuts, both here on A2K and in the wider world seem to be drawn from the very worst aspects of society. Very poorly educated, xenophobic, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, paranoid, angry and mendacious.

Percentage of population in the United States owning at least one gun in 2010, by education
The statistic shows the percentage of population in the United States owning one or more firearms in 2010, by education. In 2010, about 37 percent of respondents with a college degree in the U.S. had at least one gun in their possession.

As I stated cars killed 30,000 or so every year far more deaths then gun cause even before subtracting suicides that I would think would not be cover by insurance.
