First off, it only lists why trigger locks aren't a good idea - a very one-sided view, and secondly, half the points come straight from the NRA website. Even then, some of them are logically a stretch and not really relevant to the issues.

This page definitely needs the inclusion of some points on the other side, and some more varied sourcing. Until then, it's not fit. 74.110.171.44 02:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

That seems very presumptive, unless it can be shown that a good counterpoint exists at all. 71.178.239.55 21:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I've never known a firearms owner to advocate their use. I am sure that there are some, however, or some who claim to be, who do. I think they are more likely to cause an accident than to prevent one, and so won't look for the other side. htom (talk) 19:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I've put the POV tag back; this is like the opening paragraph of an advocate's speech demanding them, ignoring the problems that exist. htom (talk) 00:32, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't see any advocacy in the opening paragraph. It states what the device is designed to do and how it attempts to do so. It doesn't suggest it is safe or unsafe or effective or ineffective or anything like that. How could you describe the device without such a paragraph? If there are statistics from reliable sources about the dangers or efficacy of these devices then, great, those should be added. But the article looks like a very neutral stub to me right now. --Ds13 (talk) 01:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
