@alice Sage advice. Locks only deter lazy or unskilled thieves.

@alice I don't think time-delay locks are consistent with the popular idea of what the attack model designed for "I want guns in my home!" looks like.

@alice
The 1st lock that I tried picking with proper tools took a couple minutes. It was a trigger lock on a cable. You would take seconds. -
@feike I'd argue it's the guns. Take those away and gun lobbyists are just rich, white, powerful, angry dudes without guns.

@riley "cowboy defends home from masked attacker who, as it turns out, deserved to be shot" isn't a headline I think I've ever seen.
"Kid accidentally shoots parent/friend/self with dad's gun" is one I see regularly.

@alice So, don't make the gun hand-held. Mount it stationary where it points at the expected locations of the modelled attacker, and nowhere else. It's a win-win: it blesses the gun nuts' shrivelled little hearts, and it also ticks all the bullet points of the popular attack model.

@riley maybe we can just give all the gun nuts toy guns instead, and they can run around like little boys yelling "bang!" at each other, and we can all pretend they're doing a good job of keeping us safe.

@alice Sounds like a plan.

@alice Sounds like a plan.
@alice By lessons from Tom Sawyer, though, it's important to not just hand the toy guns out; one has to make the gun nuts pay for them, or they wouldn't value them.

@alice Immaculate timing...
And yes, I do think that if someone is trying to break into your house, you should be allowed to pick that gun up...

@alice @alice_watson
What kind of time delay? Like you wait x minutes before it'll unlock, or only unlocks at certain times? -

Between that and keeping ammo stored separately in its own locked box, the odds of accidental or impulse shootings go way down.

@riley ICE agents..?

@alice that's why I use a bow, the kid safety is how hard it is to string for someone that is not knowledgeable and strong enough
-
@riley ICE agents..?
@alice Oh, right. This kind of idiots might do it.
