If I'm reading this article correctly, the amendment doesn't require that the safety locks be integral, or even used - only that they be present. (Taurus, for example, has key-activated locks built into many of its handguns.) If this is the case, the amendment just becomes a de facto tax on handguns - not good, but not crippling. Of course, the lamestream media rarely gets it right when it comes to guns.

I got a Taurus. I threw away the tiny little key. I don't ever want the gun locked, ever.
I can just imagine myself fumbling around in the dark, scared out of my wits because someone is breaking in, discover the dammed thing has been locked, nervous and shakey, can't find the dammed key, or can't find the tiny keyhole behind the hammer.
Maybe it's useful for gun stores for safe storage, but otherwise what a stupid feature to have on a gun.
