As a fellow gun owner, your attitude worries me. A federal requirement for using gun locks? How about a national police force to enforce the gun lock requirement?

I don't agree with the expensive and bureaucratic laws about ownership of fully auto guns, but since they're priced out of my reach, I can live with the existing rules. Just about anyone with $500 for the license can buy a machine gun, so it really isn't about restricting ownership as much as paying taxes for the enjoyment of such ownership. Same thing for so-called sawed off shotguns and silencers -- it isn't that you can't have them, it's that you have to pay a tax and go through bureaucratic hoops for legal ownership.

It's clear to me that Rudy doesn't care much for the 2nd, and would sign any restrictive bill that happened to be currently popular. I could never support him for that reason.
