Man arrested for 2x4 labeled "High Powered Rifle"
Perhaps "assault type" firearms and mags over 20 rounds should be re-classed or written into the NFA, or a new "NFA"
When the NFA was drawn, "assault type" firearms and mags over 20 rounds were not upon the "times" for consideration.
This said, until such "new" NFA;
Ultimately, as a gun owner, one should take all precautions to secure such weapons so that these will not fall into the "wrong" hands.
For example, my firearms are secured in a steel gun-cabinet vault.
I had a uncle whom visited me, upon observation of my home, he had asked where were all my guns.
I took in to a special hidden passage wall, and my guns are in the vault.
He responded (in his country-hillbilly accent) I was crazy, that we were in America and should not have to hide our guns. To also add, he stated that my insurance should cover theft.
I told him that I was not concerned with theft loss, more I was concerned with a break-in and someone taking my guns, thus my guns into criminal circulation.
Upon leaving, he still thought I was nuts to go through all of the trouble.
Sometime after, someone broke into his house when he was not home and removed all of his firearms from his fancy-smancy, in the open oak cabinet. (Despite he had an alarm which he had installed so he could catch a intruder himself).
Later, one of his guns was used in a crime.
My uncle called me to his home and we designed, built a safe room and he had a gun vault delivered
I wanted to note, that he lives in the "country-side" where those folk actually leave their keys in their cars.
The target areas of break-ins is not so much metro areas, but suburban-low security
Guns are not the targeted bounty, but they are as easy to re-sell within the private sector
