Lighten the fuck up. If you don't want a gun safe, don't buy one. But gov't entities are looking at requiring them. The legislation in the OP is a prime example. You can continue with the "the 2nd amendment says everyone can have any gun" mentality as the only response to any gun law discussion, or you can open up to dialogue about things that will actually help with both keeping children safe AND with lessening accidental shooting, while not interfering with self defense at all.
And if you would like to show where I have advocated requiring people use these biometric gun safes, you MIGHT have a point. But I didn't, so you don't.
if you are OK with government saying that people have to lock their guns up or face criminal charges, you are advocating it.
Again, if you are so confident these safes will work the way you say they do 100% of the time, man up.
I have no need to "man up". Once agains, please point out where I have said I am ok with the gov't requiring safe storage.
Your willingness to "compromise" on this is enough.
Am I willing? I suggested a good compromise between guns being inaccessible and guns being left out unsecured.
You are just bound and determined to paint me as some sort of anti-gun nut who wants to hand over all our rights, aren't you?
If you want someone to "man up", why don't you man up and admit that you jumped in without paying attention.
Any compromise will be used to further whittle down gun rights. Considering I live in a state that already stops me from getting a CCW unless I "prove to NYPD I need it", I am not in a forgiving mood on any compromise whatsoever until I get MY rights back.
I probably should have quoted the post I was replying to, but I didn't figure anyone would demand that I "man up" and pay for people's injuries.
This is the post to which I referred when talking about a compromise: "A weapon locked away in a safe that isn't ready to be a weapon at a moment's notice, like when a bad guy smashes youw indow and is climbing into your home, isn't a weapon.
Weapons are only weapons loaded and (ideally) condition 3."
Now I hate that you live in such a place. But that is not even close to my fault. So before you blow up at someone and call for them to "man up", you should be ready to man up and admit you were wrong, and you should make sure that they are actually calling for a compromise of your rights.
Otherwise, move out of whatever state abridges your rights.
