18. I do like the idea of using fees to fund programs

I am not so wild about the idea of liability insurance since that insulates people from consequences of their negligent and intentional actions. On the other hand it does create a pot of money for victims to collect from.

I would like to see some of that money go to fund research. The law and the programs should be studied and monitored to see what works and what doesn't work.

That in and of itself might solve one problem: glassy eyed gun nut cultists going around telling everyone that they can't think about this issue because only they know what they're talking about.

Oh, and we can buy a lot of socks and duct tape to shut the glassy eyed gun nuts the fuck up.
