This is one of those headlines for a problem I had no idea existed
If you own a gun for home defense, gun locks are useless. The gun needs to be loaded and needs to be accessible via quick release mechanism that is usable in high stress situations. Ideally a fingerprint lock, but at the very least a button combination. Those aren’t cheap.
The one or two times a year I have a friend over with their kids, then I DO secure my firearms. I believe in more stringent gun control laws, and that gun ownership comes with a higher level of responsibility (and training, ideally), but securing a firearm can be as simple as hiding it out of reach of a child and separating it from the ammunition. Any law that requires people to spend money or significantly reduce their ability to defend themselves in order to comply with it deserves additional scrutiny.
