that I can easily go to a gun show and buy half-priced from its already market price. Not anymore you can't!
Gun shows already mark up their price because the FFLs have to transport stock, rent tables, pay workers to work at the tables, pack up, and return the stock back to their stores.

84% of weapons used are stolen from a law-biding citizen and then used, and that's an argument against gun control? Sheeeit son, we need to take a page from the Canadians and start legislating some minimum weapon storage measures. Bare minimum they should be under lock and key if they aren't on someone's person.
Man, 84%, that's insane. How is it that lax? You can legally get fingered up the *** by TSA at the airport but you can leave an Uzi laying out on your front porch? Let's use some common sense people!So in order to keep the criminals from stealing guns, let's punish the legal gun owners by making it so they can't have guns to get stolen. Genius, let's take away guns from the criminals by taking guns away from people who did nothing wrong.
My house was broken into a long time ago, and the weapons that were held in a storage case were broken into and stolen. Now we have a safe that locks itself shut and can only be opened with a torch if someone tries to drill the lock. Know your -blam!- before you talk it. How do you know these people were just lying their guns around?
To extend on this point, requiring the most indestructible of gun storage cases is impracticle because they also need to be reasonably easy to access in a situation as a home invastion. What good is a firearm when it takes 5 minutes to open a gun safe?
Possible solution: Give a tax break to those who buy Biometric safes? They're only easy to get in if you're the person that's supposed to be using it.
Not a bad solution, but many safes are big, heavy, and not bedroom friendly due to their size (and things like ruining carpet).
The reason I edited was because I looked and couldn't find any biometric rifle safes.
