Have you encountered any evidence that laws requiring locked up guns made victims of gun theft less likely to report it?

Any evidence of MA gun owners being afraid of repercussions?

What’s the definition for “machine gun” and “sub machine gun” here. 1000+ NFA items going missing in 10 years seems like a lot.

If you notice, that kind of stuff is pretty much never in Marine Corps ads.

I'm a recruiter and it doesn't fit our message for exactly the reason you assumed.

As a “progun” guy that’s why my instinct is not supportive of a law like that.

But I haven’t seen any data that would make me feel to strongly one way or the other.

I much prefer social pressure than legal. So whoever I might teach about guns, I teach them to be responsible.

Ok. No problem. I’m not sure how familiar you are with NFA items, but they are very tightly regulated and rare because they have a $200 tax stamp and usually a 6-9 month wait to purchase. So over a thousand being lost seemed high.

Thanks for the cool research. I have a lock box and cable lock, but I have never used it in my car. I’ll change that now.
