Our "brother in arms" seems to have left us. But you are still here and I am still here.

I like the odds...

One more thing: if federally subsidized gun safes become accepted, you can bet that a few years down the road, it will be illegal NOT to have your guns in a "federally approved" gun safe.

In fact, it will be a felony. And of course, the feds will need to be able to come in and inspect "their" gun safe.

Same deal with trigger lock laws: a few years after these laws pass, it will be illegal NOT to have a "federally approved" trigger lock on your guns.

Probably one which will take 5 minutes to get off, after you have gotten it out of your "federally approved and inspected" gun safe. This will make it safer for BATF agents who come to inspect your "arsenal" of two or more guns and ten or more rounds of ammo.

Of course, you can always ignore these new laws....and if you are caught with an unlocked gun, you will become an instant felon, spend 5 years in the pen under zero tolerance "Operation Exile" laws, and lose your gun rights forever.
