Trigger Locks

Re “Youth Gets 50 to Life for Shootings” (Aug. 16), on Charles “Andy” Williams’ school rampage: Trigger locks are well made and difficult to remove. Many young men think a lot about guns, and sometimes about using them to get revenge. Chances are that the kids will know where the gun is hidden, but with a lock inserted it would be inoperable. If the gun owner had spent about $20 for a trigger lock this horrible situation may not have happened, and these young lives could have been saved. Is that too much to ask of a gun owner?
