It's not that the guns have to be sold with a lock... It's that the guns MUST, by force of Federal Law, be locked when stored in a home. If you don't, you pay $2,500 fine and loose your right to keep and bare arms. You are also now totally liable for any incident that is commited with your gun, if you fail to lock it, such as a theif who stole your gun and shoots someone. If it can be proven that your gun was not stored properly, you are fined $2,500, you loose your 2nd Ammendment rights and you are liable for the injury, damage or death caused by the 3rd party's criminal act.

If this is the case, the Repubs that voted for this are in BIG trouble,,,BIG, BIG TROUBLE...

From what I heard during the debates, yes.

If this passes, here's the reality on the ground.

A few years will pass, then you will have the Feds use this law on politically incorrect people they need to trump up charges against (like people with 15 & 31/32" shot guns).

Next, you will have news saturation coverage of people who didn't lock their guns via Federal law and who's guns were used in accidents / murders. The people will be tried on CNN / CBS / NBC / ABC / et al. Its for the children, after all.

Next, you will see state wide volunteer gun turn-ins for people who don't understand the law and don't want to be found liable for not locking properly.

Eventually, you will have fewer gun owners with some people owning a whole bunch of locked guns.

It just past, by the way.
