Perhaps you can post the bill or part of the bill that you think includes the "stealth triggerlock."

well how about:

Criminal negligence is an act or failure to act which demonstrates a willful, wanton, or reckless disregard for the safety of others who might reasonably be expected to be injured thereby.

...

"(c) Any person commits the offense of cruelty to children in the second degree when such person with criminal negligence causes a child under the age of 18 cruel or excessive mental or physical pain.

Is that vague enough for you? It's a prosecutor's dream. Read what CSG member Warren Massey had to say about it
xxxxx,

You are absolutely right about both these bills. They will make any gun owning citizen have to lock up his/her gun for fear of becoming a felon under this law.

Rest assured that I will do my damnedest to defeat this measure in the judiciary committee on Monday and in the House should the committee fail to understand that they are on the threshold of stiking down the 2nd amendment.

The language is cleverly crafted, but you only have to look at the key sponsors to know what they are trying to do. Not only are guns attacked but the language is so overbroad that leaving your keys in the car could get you locked up as a felon.

Going into the house from the garden to answer the phone and not locking away the insecticide could put you away as a felon.

I could keep naming examples all day of the acts or failure to act that > would make not criminal ordinary citizens felons under this legislation.

You can forward my email to anyone you want. I will gladly explain the true effect of the language to any legislator who is interested.

Warren Massey
Republican Vice Chair
House

Don't take my word for it take Warren's

Jones & Willard have been called. If Wendell actually gets the message, I would expect him to call me back. We have worked together on enough things that I think he would call me on this (I hope). Maybe Ill try him at home tonight.
