The only thing that can be done is for many millions more people to carry arms.

The only time to lock your gun is when you lock it on target.

Mandate? I am sick of government mandates. Ist’s not the government’s job to mandate action on my part. They can shove their gun lock “mandate” up their Obama. A lock already comes with every pistol now. Just something I have to pay for and not use.

Excuse me, Mr. Bad Guy, while I hunt down the combination to the safe. And give me a little more time to go to the basement for the ammo because it isn’t kept together. No, wait on shooting me while I get this thing unlocked. Do you know how to load it? Thanks. Ok, I’m ready now.

What makes anyone think those consequences are “unwanted?”

Gun locks make sense if you have young children around, or if you have anybody you are not sure of around. Otherwise, there is no need for them. Just use common sense.

“What makes anyone think those consequences are “unwanted?”

Yup. Making firearms unusable for ordinary citizens is the goal — not an unintended consequence.
