Good. Gun owners should be responsible for securing their guns.

+1. There are also laws on the books punishing those who steal firearms, but gun owners are supposed to secure their weapons. Leaving it sitting on a car seat is unconscionable and should be penalized.

Gun owners are getting off too way easy if all they receive is a fine for failing to secure their guns.

Stolen guns are routinely used to conduct criminal acts, so, in my opinion, if a gun owner fails to secure their gun and that gun is later used in a crime, they should bear some responsibility for it (obviously not the same responsibility as the criminal).

FYI I am a gun owner and my guns are secured at all times.

Good?

Same thing if your kid is kidnapped because you left them in your car while you went shopping. That’s neglect.

Excellent.

I would go further and penalize any gun owner whose gun is stolen when it wasn’t locked up.

"Another big question we have is how do authorities determine a gun was sitting in plain view? Do the police just kind of guess or do they assess this fine only if they don’t like a theft victim?"

This law will either be useless or used for targeted harassment.

Targeted harassment! Oh the ever persecuted gun owners. If a gun is stolen and there's no storage container around, then it was in plain view.

Well, this is pretty clearly intended persecution. The goal is to make legal ownership a hassle and risk so fewer people bother. Which is probably why you support this.

It's a hassle to secure your gun? If you can't be responsible for your gun (or child for that matter), you shouldn't have one.

I’m gleeful at the thought of them going to prison and getting sodomized in the shower every day because just had to have their penile substitute on display for the world to see. Better pack your soap-on-a-rope, ammosexuals! Big Bubba is waiting for you in the shower.

I hope someday you calm down enough to read a full sentence.

F**k you, gun humper. That’s a full sentence.
