Not at all. The conclusion is that you are an ill-informed, ignorant
racist.

Have nice day.

You're not equipped to debate.
Have nice day.

John. For years I've had a British .303 right by my shop door. People ask why I have a gun there, And my standard reply is" becaus the U.S. Constitution says I can" ...

I keep a scoped semi-auto 22lr loaded with subsonics by my shop door. You must have larger squirrels than I do. :-)

Lol! No the squirrels are the same size. I have the gun there just to make a statement

Are you required to have a trigger lock or other locking device that
disables it?

We do in Massachusetts. By law, all firearms must be stored in a safe
or have trigger or chamber locks installed. Ammo is supposed to be
stored elsewhere ... meaning not in the vicinity of the firearm.

My shotgun and Ruger 10/22 have locks on them. The handguns are loaded
but kept in a safe.

I wouldn't leave a firearm out where it is easy to steal, or where a
passing neighborhood kid might grab it for a prank. Obviously, you
wouldn't, either.

Shotguns hidden behind the front door doesn't count?

No I wouldn't even if the laws governing their storage didn't exist.
I probably would if I lived in the wild west in 1840 but it doesn't
make any sense today.

Massachusetts maintains records on who owns what ... at least those
purchased since 1998. Having a firearm stolen without taking the lawful
precautions regarding storage and/or failure to immediately report the
firearm as lost or stolen can make you share liability for any crime
that may be committed with it.

It also makes tracking easier for law enforcement. For example, a
restraining order against a gun owner can result in the owner having to
lose custody of his/her firearms.

There is no federal law that requires the reporting of a lost or stolen
firearm but several states have such laws. They include:

Mandatory Loss/Theft Reporting

Connecticut
Delaware
District of Columbia
Illinois
Maryland (handguns and assault weapons only)
Massachusetts
Michigan (thefts only)
New Jersey
New York
Ohio
Rhode Island

I wasn't aware of that law, but I did assume if a firearm were stolen,
you'd report that to the local police.
