That's why in CA they make you buy a lock. But I don't really know anyone that uses the one they had to buy.
This means only rich or well to do people can own guns?
I'm okay with storage laws in homes that are primary residences to minors. But I don't believe that any storage law on its own prevents it. There is no way to ensure it's being following once the gun is taken home. It's why I am much more in favor of trying to influence gun culture to make improper storage stigmatizing.
Those with concealed carry licenses do get checked as they are to tell an officer when they are carrying. I wouldn't be against these laws being federal. As for just ownership, do you just check everyone if they have a license or only when the police see the gun? Or when they go shooting on public BLM land?
The analogy for driving breaks down because you can buy a car without a license. You just can't drive it on public roads. Though you can on private roads without a license.
