The mass shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas doesn't have to be like all the others.
This time – finally – we can do more than wring our hands and sling accusations.
We can meet in the middle and say: OK. Guns are fine. Americans have a constitutional right to own guns.
But those who decide to own guns must take responsibility.
They must buy mandatory firearm liability insurance.

Two big benefits of liability insurance
This does two things.
It increases awareness that the gun in your closet has the potential to be used to create death and destruction. That’s a risk that demands liability insurance.
It also creates a source of compensation for those who become victims of gun violence.
Society doesn’t need to be protected from guns. There are legitimate sporting and self-defense reasons for owning a weapon.
Society needs to be protected from gun violence.
Mandatory gun liability insurance won’t do that by itself.
But it would represent a common-sense response that goes beyond the usual painful, pointless arguments that follow massacres like the latest one in a high school in Texas.
