This is what common sense gun control looks like.

Locked away: Bills would require new gun storage practices

According to a statement from Subeck, the bill package includes four proposals. The first requires owners to report lost or stolen firearms within 24 hours of when they realized they were stolen. The second requires sellers to provide lockable containers or trigger locks for guns. The third requires gun owners to store guns in locked containers if a person who cannot legally possess a firearm lives in the residence. The fourth requires locked containers or locking devices if a child is living or present in the home.

But Jeff Nass, Wisconsin Firearm Owners, Ranges, Clubs and Educators executive director, said storing a gun in a locked container makes them inaccessible in the dangerous situations where every second counts.

It's hard to believe what the gun nuts see as an evil in this sort of legislation. Can't get to your gun fast enough? What, you live in a combat zone? You think it will criminalize gun owners who have guns stolen? Only if you are a straw buyer.

Subeck points out that almost 800 children a year are killed or injured by guns every year but Nass says buying a gun safe is too expensive. Really? A pistol safe with a combination lock is less than $30, about the cost of two boxes of 9mm ammo. Trigger locks are cheaper than dirt.

Yet the gunners say that we who try to decrease gun violence and mayhem won't compromise.

Go figure.

1. Well, I was a victim of a gun crime, a robbery attempt

and the ONLY way a gun would have been helpful would have been in my hand, loaded, sitting next to me. (and at that I was very happy that I did not have one and that had I, it would have only made things worse, much worse.

Other than that, worthless.

I get the point here.

"Hold on burglar, I need to get my gun out of the safe and then we can get on with it".....

2. I've supported mandatory firearm security for a long time.

As you mention, functional gun security measures need not be expensive (and thus don't constitute an anti-progressive "wealth barrier" to exercising an enumerated right). Nice rifle safes are indeed costly, but there are reasonably priced versions, and if even those cost to much, trigger locks are in single-digit price territory.

For people worried about getting to a defensive handgun quickly, there are various designs meant to be quickly unlocked. If you're so panicked that using a simple mechanism becomes impossible, then you don't need to be holding a loaded handgun anyway.

No objections to thee regulations here...

3. safe storage laws are one of the most effective safety laws we could pass

fewer kids getting access
fewer guns stolen in typical burglaries
negligible real impact on the gun owner

this is what should be the focus
