I get that the government has an interest in preventing criminals from being armed with stolen guns. And gun stores have a responsibility to prevent it.

But between 200,000 and 400,000 guns are stolen in this country every year, and fewer than 2% are stolen from businesses. The vast majority are stolen from houses, apartments, and cars. So this won’t even move the needle on restricting the supply of guns to criminals. Just a feel-good measure that imposes an unnecessary burden on businesses, like most regulations.
