Some anti-gunner at some point will try to make this argument, mark my

I think they've decided to go at it incrementally, require them to be
sold with every handgun, then, later, require them to be used. All
they need for it to happen is another Democratic Congress and
Administration. I don't mind locking up my guns (there are ways to do
that that still makes them available in an emergency), but I do mind,
very much, being forced to use a trigger lock to do it.
