Bill overview
This bill, the Firearm Risk Protection Act of 2019, aims to increase safety surrounding firearm ownership by requiring gun purchasers and owners to have liability insurance covering losses resulting from the firearm’s use while in their possession. It would make it illegal to purchase a firearm without proof of such insurance and to sell a firearm to someone without it. Violators could face a fine of up to $10,000. The bill also establishes specific requirements for what constitutes a ‘qualified liability insurance policy’.
