Democratic California Assemblymember Mike
Gipson recently authored bill AB-3067, which would require insurance companies
to inquire about-- and report on-- the number of firearms owned by folks
seeking homeowner’s insurance.
Can you say “slippery slope?” This is a preposterous invasion of
privacy and would continue the recent trend of the federal government coercing
private companies to do its nefarious bidding.
Insurance is already a heavily regulated industry. It isn’t much
of a stretch to imagine government at first “suggesting” and later mandating
that insurance companies surcharge for firearm ownership, making the premiums
of those protected by the Second Amendment higher than they would otherwise be.
And what next? Would insurers have to report wine cellars, humidors, wet bars, and
knife collections? Or perhaps the number and value of any and all fur coats in
the household?
It is easy to envision the government someday soon mandating surcharges
on those who own only gasoline-powered vehicles. Etc., etc.
Combine this with the coming Central Bank Digital Currency
(CBDC) and government will know everything you purchase, own, think, and do, and
will be able to modify your behavior—or incarcerate you—as it sees fit.
Brave New World? More like a Depraved New World. One in which,
ironically, allegedly “progressive” governments will be the oppressors—and anyone
who insufficiently bends the knee will be the oppressed.
And America will have come full circle, from The Declaration of
Independence to The Declaration of Dependence. And servitude.
