Many people have expensive hobbies. If your hobby happens to surround an object that can take innocent lives if it gets in the wrong hands, you're gonna have to invest in safety unless you're irresponsible. It shouldn't take a law to make that investment happen, but, obviously, it does for some.
Gun safety locks are given away free by many organizations devoted to child safety. I'd be willing to look into free or subsidized safes in cases where cost is really the barrier to safely storing guns outta reach of children.
Safety storeage laws are enforceable. It just might take the gun/homeowner getting in trouble before LE has an opportunity to enforce them.
Plus, as I said, I'd rather see an accidental child death prevented as a result of a responsible law-abiding gun-owner following the law and storing his/her guns safely than see that gun-owner rightfully charged for the child's preventable accidental death because the gun-owner wasn't legally required to store his/her firearms safely.
