    Is it legal in the US to store your guns in a nightstand or something? That’s insane.

    Even so, that’s just irresponsible. It’s my duty to make sure nobody has access to my guns except if I personally give them access, after making sure they know how to handle them safely. Also, very illegal in my country, they check safe storage and if you don’t stick to it, you’ll lose your gun licence quickly.

      Sadly, the protection of the 2nd Amendment by the Republican Party is a result of fear and perceived loss of control because of a rapidly changing and diversifying America and of those that intimidate and scare others into their way of thinking.

      One state has strict gun lock/storage laws (Mass), a few others have laws requiring you to keep them away from minors and prohibited persons, but the majority do not. I’m guilty of haphazardly tossing mine in the nightstand. But I’m also the only human allowed in the house, not too worried about the cats getting ahold of one.

      Don’t restrict my freedom

      “Even so, that’s just irresponsible. It’s my duty to make sure nobody has access to my guns except if I personally give them access, after making sure they know how to handle them safely.”

      This is the proper way everyone should be thinking. Just don’t force it upon people
