One of Biden's(Boomers) ideas was also to mandate insurance... Back door attempt to collect data besides making it to costly to afford firearms.
Mass. Lawmakers Propose Gun Insurance Bill

BOSTON (AP) — As lawmakers cast around for ways to curb gun-related violence, some are hoping the insurance market might offer incentives.
A bill filed Friday in Massachusetts would require gun owners to purchase liability insurance in the event that a firearm is used to injure.
The insurance policies would give those injured by a weapon a legal recourse, backers of the bill say, but they also would create financial incentives that could reduce accidents and fatalities. Gun owners, for example, might see lower insurance rates if they agreed to take firearms training courses and properly stored their weapons.
Massachusetts already has gun storage laws, but police cannot come into a person’s home without a warrant, Linsky pointed out. An insurance company, however, would be able to verify that there is proper gun storage before writing a policy. WHAT TYPE OF RECORDS WOULD THEY MANDATE TO GRANT A POLICY!!! LIST OF YOUR WEAPONS and SERIAL NUMBERS THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN THEN OBTAIN LATER!!!
Officials at the National Conference of State Legislatures say to their knowledge no state has adopted a gun insurance requirement.
