Biden Administration Announces New Gun Storage Rule
In response to a school shooting in Michigan last year, the Biden administration announced a new firearms rule, with the intention that all gun owners have secure places to keep their firearms.

The Department of Justice released a statement Monday with the new rule, which mandates all federally licensed gun retailers to certify that they have secure storage devices specifically compatible to guns they are selling on-site, according to theBlaze.

The DOJ stated that these devices “include a safe, gun safe, gun case, lock box, or other device that is designed to be or can be used to store a firearm and that is designed to be unlocked only by means of a key, a combination, or other similar means.”

TheBlaze adds that this new rule “amends and officially codifies” gun storage mandates already required by the Gun Control Act of 1999 for new Federal Firearms License applicants. The requirements will now be law for “any place where firearms are sold under the license to non-licensed individuals.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the new policy is meant “to reduce the risk of firearms falling into the wrong hands,” and that “gun safety is a Department of Justice priority, and we will continue to take all appropriate steps to help reduce the number of people killed and injured by the misuse of firearms.”

The rule will go into effect in February.

More fake fluff and crap. Execute the criminals.
When you break the law the consequences must be severe, no more 30 years on death row, no more end of bail, nor more early release.
Execute the killers.

DA
"Therulewill go into effect in February"
So it is not a law ? I think you need congress to agree on making your "rule" a law Mr. Biden.

So to clarify this in a place that sells guns and not homeowners and this only now a requirement? To lock the guns up, like when the place is not occupied?

No. If you are to buy a gun you have to show them you have the means of securing the firearm. The article is not written well, it is clear when you read the DOJ release. Now a person could go up and show the seller a trigger lock and then they could sell the gun. Or the seller could sell a trigger lock with the gun in order to comply. It is not a big step but it is a step forward.

Most new guns come with some sort of trigger lock included

Ok got it! And yes same here re every gun comes with a lock, I believe, but it’s been a bit since I’ve bought a “new” gun. All guns here need to be locked with amo separate when stored in the home. And yes it seems like a very small step but a step. The comments in the article reflect the mindset you all face with even the smallest of steps :(.

Does the ammo have to be locked up as well?

I have a display of vintage ammo that can be (but isn't presently) hung on a wall

roughly half of gun owners in the US do the opposite.
