How a 3-Year-Old Can Open a Gun Safe

New submitter bupbin writes "We are providing a detailed report and analysis of eleven different popular gun safes produced by Stack-On, GunVault, and Bulldog to warn the public of the dangers inherent in some of these products because the manufacturers nor their major retailers will do so. In that report you can view eight different Stack-On models, one produced by Bulldog, and one manufactured by GunVault. A similar design defect is demonstrated in an inexpensive safe for storing valuables that is sold by AMSEC, a very reputable safe manufacturer in the United States. Unfortunately, their digital safe with their claim of a 'state-of-the-art electronic lock' can also be opened (literally) by a three-year-old because of a common mechanism used in the industry that is subject to circumvention."

Then you are dumb. The odds of my being killed by a gun have almost no relationship to whether I own one myself. Assuming I'm not the sort of idiot who is likely enough to shoot myself by accident to raise those odds out of the statistical noise of course. The odds of dying by gunfire are mostly driven by how popular they are in crime and how much crime I'm likely to be experience.

Since you are dumb you probably should not own a gun, you might be the sort of idiot who would shoot themself. You probably should not vote or reproduce either but alas you probably do those things.

Ths whole article is just about the general topic of security theater, most 'security' products are rubbish and locks only stop the honest. If you think a $36 product is actually a 'safe', again I have to conclude that you should not reproduce. They sell them because, exactly as the article notes, people buy them to check off a box.
