Along with liability insurance and mandatory locking, what do you consider "well-regulated"?
In my mind as well as, I would hope, in the minds of other Americans, the responsibility rests with the owner of the gun. The security measures, safety in use, where the bullets go, what's behind the target-everything on the range briefing, basically-is a job for the owner, and not a governmental regulator.
The primary duty of the gun owner is to make sure that the only person who uses the weapon is one he personally authorizes to use it, or himself. Secondarily, it has to be used safely. He needs to keep his firearm out of the hands of someone who would use it in a manner in which it shouldn't be used. Same as a knife, black powder, castor beans, gasoline and spider spray-anything potentially lethal to other humans.
The reason libs want regulation is because further restrictions get them closer to their ultimate goal-confiscation. Then, they don't have to worry about insurrection.
