They sell safes and closets for rifles, yet most people don't take the time or responsibility to get one. It is important to have one if you own a firearm of any kind. For the safety of yourself and others. And keep the safety on when inside or not currently using the weapon as well.
And these are the types of people who should not be having a gun if they have children.
It constantly baffles me that people don't employ common sense measures to safeguard themselves and then insist that they need guns because strangers might come and shoot them, since they could endanger themselves a lot sooner by not managing their guns properly (See: Cleaning guns when not fully focused, kid-related gun accidents). Then again there's lots of people who argue that they don't need safety belts because it's just a short trip and they're not getting into accidents. Sure, that works fine until you get into one, much like how leaving guns unattended is fine until an innocent life pays for it.
