(63,203 posts)Is your complaint that the information is available, or that someone is distributing it in an accessible format?
Guns may indeed be a hot commodity, but that's simply an argument for greater caution on the part of the owner; that's part of the responsibility of gun ownership, in fact.
I've recently participated in a thread here that lamented the ease with which gun safes can be breached. That's a damn shame, considering what they cost, but that's likewise part of responsible gun ownership.
If your fear is that your guns will be stolen in spite of your precautions, then you need to weigh this fear against your desire to retain those guns. Do you need all of them to be kept on site in order to keep you (and them) secure? Could they be stored off-site in greater security, especially those guns that you don't feel you need on a daily basis? How many guns do you need to keep in your home, and why? That last one is a rhetorical question; I'm not asking you to declare how many guns you own.
Lastly, can you appreciate the irony of your greater fear of burglary as a result of the guns that are purported to keep you safe?
