Could it be because you started out by saying that it was "using mental health as a fig leaf to cover for not supporting gun control," which makes use of a false narrative regarding Bernie (that he doesn't support gun control), continued on to say that "Calling out mental health relieves all the other White Supremacists" and then, when it became clear that Bernie couldn't have known at that moment that it was a white supremacist shooting and later issue perhaps the strongest statement on white supremacy, found yet a third way to find the comments bothersome? While saying exactly nothing about the other 18 candidates at the same forum who didn't immediately condemn white supremacy before the identity of the shooter was known?
To clarify, I said regardless because the idea of mental health being used as a fig leaf to cover not covering gun control was already disproven. I meant regardless of that, I still found hat specific comment lovely. But I get that didn't come across, sorry.

I'm really not trying to talk in bad faith, man. I just didn't like the comment and I'm being honest about why I didn't like the comment.

It's a half-assed insurance when you think about it. Make gun owners all have insurance on their guns, it becomes cost prohibitive pretty quickly. Doing some 5 dollar tax is nothing.

This is just like with his taxes. Bernie refused to release them, forcing all of us to assume the worst about him, and now he's refusing to say how he'll tax people who commit hate crimes? I hate to say it but I'm voting Delaney.

Does John Delaney not know that it's already illegal under federal law for someone convicted of a felony to own a handgun? The only thing this would impact is misdemeanors. And if it's raising prices for people with misdemeanor charges on their criminal records, then that would allow the criminal justice system to revoke the right of gun ownership from non-whites even more efficiently and thoroughly than it already does.

Hell, why even stop at criminal records? Why wouldn't the insurance companies also look at gun owners' addresses and jack up the prices if they live in neighborhoods with high crime rates, high poverty rates, or high rates of "gang activity"? Props to Delaney for figuring out a legal way to easily put a gun ownership ban on the very few minorities who manage to evade the racist enforcement of our white supremacist police state.

Hootin and shootin
I think liability insurance would become prohibitively expensive the moment one of these companies has to pay infinity dollars for a mass shooting.
Then, like flood insurance, the government will step up to save second amendment rights and then we backdoor our way into a universal health Care plan, but only for gun violence.

Suspending a campaign lets you still raise money, which, if your campaign has debts, and they all do, you probably want to do.
