rules are intended to reduce the risk of gun harm and relieve taxpayers of. financial cost of gun violence. explain how they would do that. thanks, craig. first liability insurance we know has helped us reduce deaths from auto accidents for many decades. we ve been incentivized to drive cars with air bags and drive more safely, in the same way gun insurance can encourage owners to get trigger locks or take gun safety classes or buy gun safes. that s important because 4.5 million children live in home where there are guns in the homes. and it can help with suicide prevention, domestic violence
