I have a bin full of cable locks. It's next to my pile of youth firearm safety whatever handouts. Do I use them? No. That's what my safe is for. I'd donate them to DPD per Bitter Clinger's suggestion, but I"m afraid they won't know how to use them. I can imagine them being attached to the trigger guard like key chains. Haha

Here's the thing for me. I am all about gun safety in every form. Whether that is keeping it locked up so irresponsible people don't get their hands on them, or keeping your finger off the trigger, or keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction. I believe that firearm safety should be taught and ingrained in all people (especially at an early age) so that they respect the firearm and treat it responsibly, not fear it. And most importantly, people should respect each other's right to bear arms if they so wish to exercise that right. I'm not about to force responsible people to buy guns if they don't want to. I won't be stopping them either. It's their decision to make, not mine.

With that being said, the earmark is the equivalent of a household spending $30 a year for two years to promote a narrow view of gun safety. If the view was expanded in scope to what I described, then I'd say $30 well spent. In its current form, it's still better than throwing $30 out the window, but not a complete waste imo.
