The follow up story to that idiot in Swampscott, MA.
The fact that an elected official actually floated this trial ballon is not surprising but is disturbing.
Town Nixes Home Gun Safety Inspection
The town's lawyer said the town would need the homeowner's consent or a valid search warrant with probable cause to inspect for safe gun storage.

“At the November 6th, 2013 Board of Selectmen’s meeting, it was requested by Selectman Vice-Chairman Barry Greenfield, through the Board of Selectmen, to Town Counsel that he review the enforceability of Massachusetts General Law Chapter 140, Section 131L regarding the storage of firearms in homes within a locked container, by mechanical lock or safety device based on the concern of children accessing them. Upon review by Town Counsel, the Town would need to obtain either the homeowner’s consent or have a valid search warrant based on probable cause. The Town will not take any further action regarding this law and further reconfirms their support for the laws of our Commonwealth and the rights under the United States Constitution.”
