Thats a very good point. The market will drive what people want. Locks are just a small part of what I think should come with a gun. A cleaning kit and any other needed items should be a part of that too and some manufacturers do include a wide range of extras. Part of the transaction? yes. mandatory use? hardly. My feeling that drives the lock with the transaction is that just because people qualify, it may be their first purchase and no one tells them, or they may be on the low end of the IQ scale and need the prompting to think about it. At the least we are allowed to turn down rental car insurance, why not initial the paper for no locks. At least it is brought to the attention of the buyer that they are there and available.

Gun manufacturers arent stupid. They dont want people buying a gun and shooting themselves. The same can be said about every gun dealer I have ever dealt with. People who sell guns typically are big gun safety advocates. I just cant understand why the government needs to be part of this. We have allready conceeded seat belts, motorcycle helmets, and piles of other items to "keep us safe from ourselves". Its far past time that we as a nation stopped allowing someone else to tell us whats safe and what isnt.

Besides, I cant use the locks they put in with the firearms. I have so many, I lose track of which key goes where.

Taurus has had an excellent locking mechanism in place for a few years now and it can easily be incorporated into other manufacturers im sure.

Taurus Builtin Locking Mechanism

No need for secondary locking devices.

My Ruger actually came with a lock but was openable with any key so not really a deterent there. Trigger locks are good for storage but not in a home invasion/intruder situation. Responsible gun owners have their firearms locked up and away from children. Then there are the multitude of fraktards that just leave their guns out for any child to blow his/her head off. Those people should not own guns IMHO.

You also need to consider potential Supreme Court nominees. It seems likely that the next president will have the opportunity to replace one or more retiring Supreme Court justices. Considering that they only need one more vote in order to overturn the ruling should it be revisited, its something I would keep in mind on election day.

If you value your 2nd amendment rights, choose wisely.

Constitution hasn't exactly stopped bush with his executive orders...


Biggest problem I have with this regardless of constitution is that it won't affect any criminals.. they'll get their guns anyway, and whatever they want. It only affects mom and pop and yourselves from defending you and your property and rights from the criminals/govt etc.

Well, if his paid puppets have the guts to try to take my second amendment bring them on! I do have the guts to stop them!
Break down what he said, " Semiauto weapons" That means that he will limit all to a one shot gun then you will have to reload, can you see me saying, hold on burglar or enemy of the constitution, I missed with the first shot let me reload so I can try again! Ha! Ha!
Join a militia! It is federal and state law that all males 17-45 are part of the armed militia, if you are too chicken or just can not stomache it just forget it!
