2. I've supported mandatory firearm security for a long time.

As you mention, functional gun security measures need not be expensive (and thus don't constitute an anti-progressive "wealth barrier" to exercising an enumerated right). Nice rifle safes are indeed costly, but there are reasonably priced versions, and if even those cost to much, trigger locks are in single-digit price territory.

For people worried about getting to a defensive handgun quickly, there are various designs meant to be quickly unlocked. If you're so panicked that using a simple mechanism becomes impossible, then you don't need to be holding a loaded handgun anyway.

No objections to thee regulations here...
