The Washington, D.C. City Council is considering legislation that would force people to take out at least $250,000 in insurance before they are eligible to obtain a gun license.
Democratic Councilmember Mary Cheh introduced the law. CBS DC reported that the insurance would cover damages resulting from either accidental or intentional uses of guns that was not connected to self defense. Washington already has some of the stiffest gun control laws in the country.
Similar insurance legislation is being looked at in multiple state, but has yet to pass.
