Maybe they should encourage secure storage of criminals instead.

There it is.

I guess they haven't purchased a new gun lately. They all come with a lock with which to secure them.

Wowie this will make a huge dent in so called "gun violence"

"Today's announcements build on the department's efforts to reduce the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands," Attorney General Merrick Garland said. Gun safety is a Department of Justice priority, and we will continue to take all appropriate steps to help reduce the number of people killed and injured by the misuse of firearms."

So, the store will "offer" to sell you one or you don't get the gun! Oh, and no returns.

I thought this was already being accomplished by the cable locks?

What a PITA

Don't conflate a lock which impedes unauthorized USE with a safe (or other type of secure storage container) which impedes ACCESS……


Legalese weasel-words mean things in "lawfare"…..

Gun safety *cough* control...

 

[titsonritz]

Does mean they are going stop leaving weapons in bathrooms and on top of vehicles?

 

[Koda]

Does this mean that for every gun they sell they are required to have a safe storage container to offer the buyer?

 

[CRBMoA]

I have a pile of those damn things if someone wants them

It sounds like they have to be locked during off hours. Maybe they should require locks when giving them to Mexican drug cartels

The way I read it is they have to offer a safe storage device with every sale. Or at least have safe storage devices as part of their sales inventory.

After reading it again, it seems that might be the case. Strange though, I thought they had to sell a lock with it?

 

[CamoDeafie]

Could be a good way for shops to get rid of all the 30 and 50 cal ammo cans out there

Do the world a favor and throw them in the garbage/recycle.

 

[CRBMoA]

Do the world a favor and throw them in the garbage/recycle.

The ONLY reason I keep them around is so I can plausibly state that I have locks for them all when the StormTroopers come knocking.

Truth!
