A bill in the Washington State Senate — SB 5963 — would force all gun owners in Washington state to obtain and consistently keep a residential dwelling policy and/or insurance policy that shoulders the burden of losses and damages that comes about as a result from the accidental discharge of a gun.
According to the bill, residential dwelling insurance consists of either property or general casualty coverage.
Moreover, the bill forces gun owners to keep written proof of this insurance in any location where the gun is stored.
If an individual rents a home and owns guns, they would be compelled to have a liability policy covering accidental discharge of a firearm, not the homeowner themselves.
The bill mandates the insurance company to ask if the property owner owns a gun. If the property owner has a firearm, they are asked whether the firearm is stored in a secure fashion. The insurance company must subsequently notify the person of the requirements for holding liability insurance that covers accidental discharge of a gun.
This insurance mandate is just another way Gun Control Inc. is trying to price gun owners out of the gun market. Gun controllers know they can’t pass full-fledged gun control measures like direct gun confiscation so they’ll go death by the thousand cuts route by trying to gut the right to bear arms through the passage of gun control regulations.
