“Guns will also still require trigger locks.”

That part (at the least) clearly runs afoul of Heller.

Looks like another lawsuit? Is the NRA up to it?

The Heller decision said this about trigger locks:

3. The handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment.

That means they can write a law that says a gun must be kept with a trigger lock, but you're allowed to remove the lock to shoot a bad guy. Previously, you were not allowed to remove the lock, period. That law was overturned, but it doesn't mean they can't write a slightly different one that would pass.

I suppose the key to the trigger lock will be kept by the DC cops.

Pretty much ties ones hands behind their back.

Well then, my advice is get the deadliest gun available and to hell
with the locks. Responsible gun owners know not to keep a gun where someone can find it, but still able to have it handy. Whos to know?
