Gun locks are first, UnConstituional if they are under a mandate, via D.C. v Heller. Then you get to the fact that they won't save lives...

Locking guns won't do anything to save lives

The locks didn’t even reduce accidental gun deaths among children or teenagers. Relatively few accidental gunshots take place in law-abiding, normal homes;

most accidental gunshots resulting in the deaths of minors are fired by adult males in their mid-to-late 20s who have criminal histories. Many are drug addicts or alcoholics. Gunlocks aren’t designed to stop adults from firing their own guns.

Unless you send your child to play at a criminal's home, your child is exceedingly unlikely to get shot at a gun owner's home. It makes much more sense to find out if your neighbors have violent criminal histories than if they own guns.
