Actually, not a horrible analogy.  I might put locks on fire 
extinguishers if they were lighter and I was afraid of my kids playing 
with them and getting hurt.  That's immediately where my mind when with 
the trigger locks anyway:  a way to reduce accidents with guns.  Doesn't 
sound like a horrible requirement to me, but maybe it should be 
something more like you have to have a trigger lock on if anyone under 
18 is living in the home.
