Department of Justice adopts new rule to enhance secure storage of firearms

On Monday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a new rule to help enable the safe and secure storage of firearms.

Sounds like there's no problem here at all, and that the proposed rule is meaningless. One way to satisfy the proposed requirement is "a device incorporated into the design of the firearm that is designed to prevent the operation of the firearm by anyone not having access to the device". This would apply to every trigger on every firearm. If one does not have access to the trigger the firearm cannot be fired. Seems pretty simple to me.

I lock mine in the trunk of my car, who's gonna look there right

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

No, no, no…… you put them in a long tube sock and swing that mofo around with a purpose!

Yeah, Man! Now we're talking.

Oh.

You mean...................................

Put the LOCK in the sock and start swinging!

 

[nwslopoke]

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

Like a locked door?

Dont all pistols now come with a hard case with a padlock hole? Seems like the FFL could just keep some padlocks on hand.

But then longarms might need to offer a hardcase.

Then what about unfinished lowers? Since those are legally fireamrs.... Sell a tiny lock box?

I think the idea here is kids access....

Drop your co…… er, locks and grab your socks, we're rollin' out!

Hi Points don't. They come in cardboard boxes.

Plastic 30cal ammo cans with padlock holes might be excellent for those

In that case maybe a belt.

Sadly in the 80s my neighbor's grandchild drowned in their pool. Across the street neighbor had a rack of hunting guns unlocked with 3 boys. Never a issue.

I understand modern times. You can't tell kids nothing. I am pre judging, the people that need this the most won't be prosecuted because their young child will be dead. But some suburban family will be based on a zoom chat.

I did not fear locks. In fact, there is NOWEHERE in my childhood home that I could not access given enough time and opportunity.

I feared my Dad.

The issue is deeper than simple discipline, nowadays people dont spend time with their kids they let someone else raise them. Add an unsecured gun to the home and its just a matter of time.

We are on the same page. I grew up in a binary family. Dad worked and Mom stayed home and raised the kids. Dad came home every night, and I knew who he was.

Somehow, that makes me a racist, misogynistic white supremacist.

And I ain't even white!

I went to buy a new Ford Bronco and they told me that I had to buy a garage for it.

Perhaps as part of Brandon's "Build Back Better" program the ATF should provide free safes to dealers to give away to customers who buy a gun. After all, if they are going to waste money it would be nice if they threw some at gun owners.

Yup, if gun controllers spent their billions on gun safety programs it would solve the issue.

Instead they reject gun safety initiatives.

They could accomplish more by requiring the transfer of a ballgag with every new Democrat...

Gobment supplied gunsafes made in China with remote access to keep them locked. Sarcasm.

It is a wonderful suggestion to educate people that safes are a good idea to keep your family safe. But I see it as an overreach to be able to jail you for non-compliance.

Don't forget the anal plug, the Dems seem to be quite capable of speaking out both openings, often at the same time, and containing the same matter of waste!

No joke, when the Dodge Viper first came out, as part of the sale, you had to take out a life insurance policy specific to that car, if you got killed, Dodge wanted to make sure your debt if any to them was fully paid off!
I have heard other brands also required this, don't know if it's legal or not, but still!
