I have been in this fight all week about what to ban, what not to ban, rifles are for hunting, body armor is bad, body armor is good, blah blah blah.

What would be the constitutional issue if gun manufacturers included with every weapon sold a trigger lock? It won’t solve the problem, but it does add another layer of security, as minimal as it may be.

Not. Their. Job.
Want a trigger lock? Buy one yourself.

I bought a handgun months ago and a big lock was included. That lock is still in the box and the gun is NOT in the box.

Have you bought a gun lately? Trigger locks are included with every firearm sold these days thanks to Senator Herb Kohl...

Most are Chinese made junk and wind up getting tossed.

Any mandate from government that gun manufacturers supply anything that the manufacturer and the gun buyer do not voluntarily agree to is what one might call an "infringement"; that is, the additional cost and time spent impairs the right to keep and bear arms.

One might argue that it would be a "small infringement". To that I would agree. But it would be an infringement just the same.
