I was wondering about that. Does this amendment REQUIRE that the gun have the lock on at all times, or that they must be sold WITH the gun at purchase?

Seems like I recall someone here posting that this amendment had the provision that locks had to be ON the gun at all times while stored in the home or there was some big fine. I have not heard one way or the other on it.

As a card-carrying member of the NRA, I have no real problem with the amendment if it only requires the sale of the locks with the gun purchase. If it has some hidden language (wouldn't put it past Babs!) saying that the owner had to have the lock ON the gun at all times it was not in use, then I say kill the amendment.

Frankly, I hope they kill pretty much all of the attempts to further erode the Second Amendment, but with this senate in place, I wonder sometimes! Thank God we still have sensible minds in the House!

The amendment only requires a lock be sold with it. This will be a boon for enterprising gun stores. Sell a trigger lock with every gun for $10 and offer the new gun owner a $5 trade in on his trigger lock towad the purchase of ammo. Your shop can sell the same lock for the rest of your life.

This bill is the equivalent of a $10 federal tax on every firearm. Moreover, it is just one step closer to a requirement that the trigger locks be used in storage. If this was not a regulation with a purpose, Boxer would not have bothered proposed the amendment.
