(14,559 posts)You can buy a pistol safe that bolts to a stud in the wall and is damn near indestructible for under $100. A safe like this would prevent the theft of hundreds of thousands of guns a year (gejohnson's numbers) and prevent hundreds of child gun deaths a year. Can't afford a gun safe? Can't afford a gun. Simple as that.
Again, if Lee Iacocca had his way cars wouldn't have safety class or tempered glass much less airbags. Don't let the manufacturer dictate the standards. Just like CAFE standards mandate that by (date) new manufacture and imports will have (this ) safety feature. Hide and watch the gun industry jump thru their ass and make it happen. The Armatech is only expensive because of volume and caliber will follow price once the technology takes hold.
Even Scalia has said that there is no proscription on regulating guns and ya know what? The old bastard won't live forever. States can do number of things easily and the Fed could as well with the will of the people behind it.
And I don't really care about your paranoia over registration. That is the only way to secure the guns owned by people who join the restricted category AFTER buying a gun or to locate guns in the hands of those who become a danger to themselves not others. I find it ironic that the NRA wants to invade the privacy of people in the care of health professionals but not somebody who has taken up the sale of meth after buying a legal firearm.
