Guns Rights Zealots--Shoot Down this Idea

And quite frankly its not known how aggressive he was.

 

It is best just to have a gun safe for those with multiple guns.

 

But--I left them secured in my house. The doors were locked, the windows barred. Am I still culpable if someone breaks into my house, searches through the closets, and finds where I hid the weapons?

 

A drill with a good diamond-tipped bit or a hammer and a chisel can dispatch most gun locks and many of the smaller gun safes. Criminals can always steal the gun (or safe), gain access to the weapon, and then use it. How are law-abiding gun owners going to prove that the weapon WAS safed or locked?

 

I have openly invited anyone here that feels they want to, come to my house at 2 am, break in and take my guns.

 

Really?!!!

What kind do you have? Do you have a 30/30? I am looking for a good one.

 

Got a feeling that you may find out if you tried -------- not necessarily the way you would CHOOSE to find out tho'!!:laugh:

 

1) Ever hear the saying that locks only keep honest people out? A determined thief will find a way to get what he wants. We generally think of banks, fine museums, and prisons has having the best "locks". Yet, thieves manage to cart off what they want from all these places.

2) As mentioned earlier, a drill (and a vice in the case of a firearm) can make quick work of locks. Unless there's a type of homeowner safe that I don't know about, drills will open them. Rather quietly and rather easily.

3) Gun control advocates are using every means possible to make having a gun useless. Reminds me of OSHA. Some of the rules they put into place made the legimate use of some manufacturing equipment null and void. The machine could not be operated, at all, with the required safeguards in place. Same thing is taking place with firearms, whether addressing "safety" features or the bullets used in them.

4) What's next? (I'm not joking about this, nor trying to be sarcastic.)

Once my guns become useless, what else will I have to secure, behind my locked door, so that a criminal cannot use it to commit another crime, commit suicide, or accidently hurt themselves? Knives, scissors, castiron skillets, ropes, telephone cords, aspirin, matches, butter, pillows, stairways.... well you get the idea. Our homes would be turned into the equivalent of a high security prision cell, with a useless firearm mounted over the, now safe & secure, fireplace.

 

Thieves will find ways around trigger locks. Remember The Club that was supposed to stop auto theft?

 

Are you putting forth that those laws are okay, even though you admit they're not fair?
