	Statement by Senator Herb Kohl
		I have heard skeptics say that our child safety lock proposal, which 78 Senators supported last year, would not have mattered in this case because this gun was stolen.

		Alone or, better yet, as part of a package, it will help prevent the tragic accidents associated with unauthorized, unlocked, unattended firearms.

	DeLauro Proposes Child Safety Locks
		Washington, DC (May 20, 1999) -- Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro (D-CT) will introduce legislation today that would require gun manufacturers to provide child safety locks on all firearms.
		The proposal -- to be introduced as an amendment to the Treasury Postal Appropriation -- would require all firearms to be sold with a trigger lock incorporated into the gun, a trigger lock installed on a gun, or a case in which a gun can be locked safely.
		Also, while both bills require guns to be sold with safety locks, under the DeLauro amendment, gun dealers can be fined up to $10,000 for noncompliance.

		Additionally, the record is clear that the guns in question were bought at gun shows by "straw" purchasers (individuals with "clean" records who are willing to violate federal law and illegally purchase firearms on behalf of criminals prohibited from doing so)--and absolutely nothing in the legislation AGS deceitfully promotes would have prevented those illegal acts.
		In its desperation to abolish gun shows, AGS also continues attempts to fabricate a gun show "loophole." The truth, of course, is that existing firearms laws apply at gun shows the same as any other place guns are sold.
