That would never fly and would be impossible to regulate due to all the non registered firearms in the country.
However, taxing ammo and/or the components thereof and using the money to fund an insurance carrier might be possible. The more you shoot, the higher the probability of an accident and the more you pay on ammo tax.
Not a perfect system as all anybody needs is a single round to cause harm but there could be something to it. Obviously as a "concept" it would require a lot more thought.
