A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
to commit a breach or infraction of; violate or transgress:to infringe a copyright; to infringe a rule.
to encroach or trespass (usually followed by on or upon):Don't infringe on his privacy.
Something else to ignore, there is a gun within reach in every room in my house, one is usually on my belt.
We already have a similar law in WA. When buying or selling a gun, bring a spare gunlock to the store and slap it on the gun ... compliant. Otherwise, buy one from the FFL for a couple bucks.
ALL new guns come with a cable lock.
This isn’t related to storage of guns in gun stores. It means gun dealers will have to offer gun safety devices or gun safes for sale. If simple trigger locks meet the requirements, then no problem. If it means gun dealers have to stock large gun safes for long arms, then it’s going to be a problem for shops (and pawn shops) without much floor space.
Gunsmiths hold FFL licenses. If the BATF tries to include all FFL holders in the regulations then it will put a lot of gunsmiths out of business.
This is meant as harrassment and you can bet the BATF is going to try to force the most expensive and inconvenient interpretation on FFL holders.
Well, the founders did not define “shall not be infringed” so we have no idea what they meant by that.........../s
as an FFL, this appears to me a nothing burger that allows dementia joe to claim he’s doing something about “gun violence” without actually doing anything ... there doesn’t appear to be any new requirement here other than the requirement for FFL’s to “certify” that they meet the existing requirements ... i’ll have to wait until the DoJ notifies me and see what they want ...
Uncle Adolf Garland must be starting to get a power buzz.
Since when does a law enforcement bureau get to also write laws? That is ALWAYS the hill to die on if you want America back within the bounds of the Constitution.
“If simple trigger locks meet the requirements, then no problem.”
They do. See Post No. 15.
How are gun sellers supposed to know whether their customers will really follow the security practices that they claim they will follow? This is like telling car dealers to obtain an affidavit from buyers saying they will never drive impaired or otherwise irresponsibly. It is to pave the way for endless harrassment via lawsuits. It is intended to drive people out of the gun business.
“Some kindly grandmother in Des Moines might obey this stupid illegal edict”
How many grandmothers in Des Moines have FFL’s?
It’s behind a paywall. I don’t even bother going there, anymore.
about as many as will comply with this silly new edict
Sooo...if "anyone" has no access to the device, how is "anyone" deemed capable of operating the firearm?
I figure, as long as I don’t let Alec Baldwin borrow my handguns, they are SAFE!
FFL’s should be required to ask people if they intend to allow Alec Baldwin to borrow, or otherwise handle this weapon after purchase. Anything other than a resounding, “Hell no,” should be enough cause to end the sell!
“Secure gun storage or safety device. (1) A device that, when installed on a firearm, is designed to prevent the firearm from being operated without first deactivating the device;
(2) A device incorporated into the design of the firearm that is designed to prevent the operation of the firearm by anyone not having access to the device”
It sounds like they’re trying to reintroduce the “smart gun” concept. The smart gun was supposed to recognize only the “legal owner” and could not be fired by anyone else.
I see a problem with the wording of this rule (besides the obviously bad wording of the second rule). If you have a trigger-lock on the gun, but leave the key in the lock then are you in compliance?
