Firearms in foster homes must be in a locked location (hint, the key is on top of the gun cabinet). That bill sounds like it also allows guns and ammo to be stored together, and allows them to be stored in a glass front cabinets or other breakable material without any separate lock on the firearms themselves.

I just got the facts messed up. Guess it was the gas tank that exploded. I had a friend who had one in high school, but it didn't explode.

This wasn't the weekend's only mass shooting. Chicago, Cleveland, and Savannah, Georgia, also had bloodbaths over the course of six hours on Friday evening through early Saturday morning. The gun spree left 39 people wounded and five dead.

Wait, where were all the Good Guys With A Gun to stop the Bad Guys?
