[QUOTE="bittersweetinev1e03, post: 3259739, member: 159732"] [b]Man arrested for 2x4 labeled "High Powered Rifle"[/b] You didn't address 47MartialMan's first question--why is a gun club a safer place for guns to be stored than secured within the private residence of the owner? If all Medford residents were required to store all their handguns and rifles at the Medford Rifle & Pistol Club, and all their shotguns at the Medford Gun Club, you'd have a gun burglar's dream. You'd have two facilities, outside of the city limits (slow response times, no neighbors watching), with nobody there overnight, with hundreds of thousands of dollars of weapons inside ready to be stolen if you break in. Gun theft likely would skyrocket; it certainly wouldn't be eliminated. With your plan, I'm seeing lots of headaches and downsides for lawful gun owners who properly secure their firearms in their own homes, and I'm not seeing the benefit to your plan besides a purely ideological one: it's one step closer to your ideal of civilians not owning firearms.
