Reply #25: What would lead you to believe that were that authority granted,

that it would not be used in the way I describe?

This is a good example of why the gun prohibitionists are their own worst enemy. Of COURSE I'm going to oppose "safety standards" for firearms, when a proposed example of such a standard is a prohibition on rifle stocks with handgrips that stick out. Of COURSE I'm going to oppose granting Congress a blank check to set storage requirements (beyond simply keeping them out of the hands of unsupervised children and unauthorized adults), since the primary voices behind such requirements have made it very clear what they intend such requirements to be.

Out of curiosity, if you had your druthers, what storage requirements would you set upon me that are different from our system now?

I have no problem with the Florida law that makes it a felony to leave your gun unsecured so that it is obtained by a minor. I DO have a problem with any law that would specify exactly how my guns have to be stored at all times.
