Gun Control & RKBA

sarisak: Are you referring to this .. When the NSSF did the responsible thing and issued a recall for the defective locks?

No, I'm referring to this:
1) Newtown Action Alliance, CT Against Gun Violence, and CSGV wrote: Furthermore, Project ChildSafe has been beset with problems from the start. After hundreds of thousands of its gun locks were recalled for being too fragile and flimsy, NSSF lost federal funding for the program in 2009. Obliged to fund Project ChildSafe on its own, NSSF scaled the program back significantly

What NSSF wrote, referring to gun control groups above:
2) They also made false claims about the quality of the program’s cable-style gun locks. The gun locks included in Project ChildSafe firearm safety kits exceed standards set by American Soc for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and Calif Dept Justice.

How did CSGV & the two other gun control groups make false claims about flimsy & fragile gun locks - which could lead to malfunctioning - when the claims are corroborated by reputable websites and you yourself by your link?
Do you dispute that hundreds of thousands of NSSF gun locks were flimsy & fragile? or just Chinese junk?

sarisak posted: The VA began giving out the locks in 2008, modeling a national gun safety program called Project ChildSafe. A firearms trade group partners with local police departments and VA medical campuses to hand them out.

Was there a point you had? it seems the VA gunlock giveaway was 'modeled' after the program, but not an integral part of it. Hatch Act & all that (perhaps). As I said, gunlocks are a dime a dozen, & I suspect most 'public demand' (if even so) is by people wanting something for free. Don't most all guns come with gun locks anyway these days?
