Shotguns are easily sawed off.

Concealable handguns are easily manufactured in machine shops.

You will only ever be able to control the law abiding with gun control.

And ... stick together.  You may not understand or appreciate another
person's preference  for handguns or Triumphs, but those that want 'no' guns
will pick on the weakest link and then move to the next.  Our latest round
of GC banned 56% of registered handguns and demands that all long guns be
registered.  ( And in the same breath, they asked why someone would be
adverse to registering. )  The Coalition for Gun Control chastized the
government for not sticking to the plan.  They had asked the government to
do it in 2 stages.  First get 'everything' registered, then confiscate
everything.

Use an ATV gun case attached to the outside of your door.  :)
