Mulling legislation to shield the gun industry from some lawsuits, the Senate on Thursday approved a provision requiring a separate child safety lock with each handgun purchase.
They all pretty much come with locks anyway but:
Added to the bill 70-30, the language proposed by Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., is the first that majority Republicans have allowed to come to the floor. Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said he might allow others.
I suggest you start calling your Senators now and telling them not to add any gun control riders.

Remember, any provisions that are added can be stripped out in conference.
As for the child safety locks – I don’t think I know of any manufacture that doesn’t provide something already with the purchase of a gun

Doesn’t matter. The .gov has no fucking business FORCING them to provide the locks.
And this is from someone in the Volksrepublik of MA who, by MA state law, HAS to purchase a gun lock with every firearm I buy, fuck you Tom Reilly.
