Synopsis

With a number of exceptions, the meat of the bill is as follows:

it shall be unlawful for any person to keep a loaded firearm, or an unloaded firearm and ammunition for a firearm, ..., within any premises that is under the custody or control of that person if that person knows or, acting with criminal negligence, should know that a juvenile is capable of gaining access to the firearm without the permission of the parent or legal guardian of the juvenile, and fails to take steps to prevent such access.

Analysis

Different people live in different circumstances. It is not the place of the government to dictate how people respond to varying situations.
