Because gun safes are so expensive and out of reach for normal citizens the government should create a subsidy or tax incentive to purchase a gun safe. This would help to ensure that children or criminals do not come into possession of a firearm because it is not adequately secured or protected when the adult/gun owner is not in a position to monitor their weapons because they are at work, on vacation, or generally not in the residence to provide 24/7/365 over watch of their weapons. Gun owners are responsible owners for 99.9% of those who own weapons. Therefore, by providing a subsidy or tax incentive for the purchase of a gun safe most gun owners would buy a safe. By keeping guns out of the hands of children and criminals through proper protection it would help to cut gun deaths.
