[[John Lott]] said, "... it's not in everybody's interest to have a lock on their gun. If you live in a safe area and maybe have young kids, that might be fine. But if you live in a city, even if you have kids, I don't think it's really the wisest thing to have the gun locked up, because you're not going to be able to quickly access it to defend your family. And when you compare probabilities, accidental gun deaths in the home are trivial compared to the rate at which other types of deaths occur from crimes where innocent victims are attacked and a gun would benefit them."<ref> [http://www.reason.com/news/show/27562.html Reason Magazine - Cold Comfort: An Interview with John R.

...the '''gunlock''' was that part of the pre-modern firearm now known as the trigger mechanism. A 19th century (and earlier) musket had three parts; a lock, a stock and a barrel - hence the modern-day phrase meaning "all of something."
