$1million Insurance=less gun ownership?

I think the anti-gun politicians in Illinois are trying to offset the Obama effect on firearm sales!

"One bill that is getting a lot of attention is HB 687, which would be a $1,000,000 insurance policy required of FOID card holders. Outrageous? You bet. One can only wonder at the motivations for introducing legislation like that."-from the ISRA website.

Let's face it, Obama and the liberal majority in D.C. have prompted the highest sales volume of firearms and ammunition we have seen in a long time. The retailer I work for had a stack of 4473's for December that was larger than the stack for the rest of '08. I know Christmas has some effect, but I haven't seen that big of a difference before.

Maybe I give the anti's too much credit, maybe they just want to make gun ownership expensive here in Illinois. Either way, the cost of a $1million policy would make many of us cringe.
