With the recent notable gun tragedy in Newtown pushing a review of guns laws it seems a natural to look at gun safety. Specifically proper storage of weapons. If the guns used at Newtown had been locked up the massacre would most likely not have occurred, at least not that day.
It's time to hold irresponsible gun owners accountable for their weapons. If your weapon is used in a crime and it wasn't locked up you are guilty of criminal neglect. If a child "finds" your weapon and harms themself or others with it, that is no accident, it should at least be reckless endangerment. You can't afford a gun safe? You can't afford a gun!
Surveys of NRA members have shown a majority support stricter laws regarding storage as well as stricter laws regarding background checks.
It's time for the NRA leadership to reflect the will of their membership (and the American people) and support these common sense changes to the laws.
