Unless you go door to door and collect all guns, you cannot stop a nut job from shooting people!

87. You try to make it difficult - in fact you want to.

But I have seen people in the past who have the opinion that if a family comes home from vacation to find that they have been burglarized with items of value stolen including guns, the owners should be thrown in jail because the guns were stolen.

Large heavy safes take longer to defeat, but if the thief has time, it's easily doable. No safe in the world can survive a cutting torch sawing the top off. Sometimes the entire safe is stolen, as in sawed out of the floor or wall and rolled out on anything in the house that can be found. The most creative story was the kitchen table legs were used to serve as rolling logs to wheel a safe out.

And while a huge heavy safe is preferred, a lot of Americans could never have one. They either rent and can't modify the building or the weight of a large safe would be too much for the floor and is therefore prohibited by building code.
