At Forbes.com, John Wasik lays out the logic behind treating firearm deaths as a market externality to be compensated via insurance, as we do with cars: "Those most at risk to commit a gun crime would be known to the actuaries doing the research for insurers... An 80-year-old married woman in Fort Lauderdale would get a great rate. A 20-year-old in inner-city Chicago wouldn't be able to afford it. A 32-year-old man with a record of drunk driving and domestic violence would have a similar problem.

Yea, like it could possibly be enforced any more that it being illegal to carry a firearm onto a school grounds or illegal to kill someone.
Please name a single law that has stopped evil people doing evil things. Just one please.
Not a fair way of looking at things. Laws don't always work but many times they do. Case by case.
