how is this "trying tog et rid of guns"? solve problems like kids shooting
themselves when they "just wanted to look at it"... hurt others? like not
being able to shoot fast enough? well, if you keep your gun under your pillow,
you probably won't use the lock, right? how's that a problem?

ok, there's nothing wrong with the right to bear arms - but do you not think
someone should regulate who can sell guns and who buys them? I wouldn't mind
national registration, but I can understand those who do. But require people
to be checked before they can get a gun - nothing wrong with that, IMO.

Once more, how is selling you a trigger lock with your gun restricting your gun
rights?
