How do you diagnose, let alone enforce that?

Test them in some way.

Inspect how the store their guns (this happens in the UK).


Governing *who* is allowed to own a firearm is different than governing
*how* a firearm is stored. How are inspections conducted? Are they random,

There are rules are regulations which must be met before a gun can be owned.
100% of those wanting to own a gun have there storage provision checked. A
medical certificate is also required. Once one has a gun, I am not sure what
checks are undertaken but I think one has to go through the whole process
once the licence is up for renewal (I am not sure how often that is – 1 to 5
years I expect).
