This really isn't meant for someone coming into your home and carrying your safe out the door. If you report the guns as stolen you are off the hook anyway.
This would be directed more to curbing violence like accidental discharges from kids picking up a gun lying around. It would be an attempt to keep guns out of the hands of kids like the shooter of Newtown who simply went to his mom's closet and had his pick. |

No. I keep a firearm in my vehicle and it's for protection. Slide locks and trigger locks makes the mechanism total ineffective. I need to be able to level that firearm in seconds to remove the threat.

So if 10 innocent people are murdered because their weapon was not readily available to defend their selves and 10 other innocent people don’t accidently kill their selves because, the weapon is locked or locked up did we accomplish anything? What if 10,000 grownups are raped, beaten and or murdered but it saves the lives of 50 children? I haven’t checked the numbers lately but somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 people a year die from gun accidents in this country. Far less than from drinking the cleaner from under the sink. Why is there no nationwide demand that all cleaning supplies be locked up when not in use?

if it's in my house; it's secured.
it' like someone stealing your car, killing someone in an accident , and you're somehow liable for it because the car was unlocked.

Would that be logical in any other situations? Say like, if I were promoting a law that said if you left your car unlocked, and someone stole it and ran over somebody, you would be held responsible? Would that make sense? Considering that we don't we enforce that type of thing with any other dangerous device, I'm saying no. Because when you get down to the basis of it, you're punishing one person, for someone else's actions and intents. That leaves a huge gray area in the middle where you have to quantify responsibility between 2 guilty parties.

Have gun training before buying a gun and have to show proof of said training before purchase of a gun.

I dunno. I don't like it. It's not something you could enforce until after the fact, unless you want the cops allowed to just waltz into your house to see if your guns are "secured". that and the other comments in this thread make me say no, I would not support this. Too many other variables. I have no problem registering my guns. Coming up with a law so toddlers can't accidentally shoot themselves is ridiculous. As far as the Sandy Hook psycho...he was what, 20 years old? Probably could get around any security she would have had. I suppose it would have worked in that case if she had them in a safe locked away, but then they are useless for self protection. IMO...bad shit happens. You can't make a law to prevent that.

Do you have to do that for every gun you buy, or just the first one?

I voted no, but I think it's a step in the right direction. I think what turned me off to the idea is possible jail time for a misdemeanor in your scenario. In my mind I'm comparing it to some law requiring me to not leave my keys in my car if it's parked in my garage.
The answer to all of this is simple (sounding) - Get those futuristic guns that will fire only to fingerprints/dna of a single person. Easier to sell, regulate, and track weapons that way. |
