Imagine you have a safe at your house to keep your important documents protected.

Now imagine that the government requires you to register your safe because a child could be trapped in your safe.

Now imagine that the database was leaked.

Your important documents were safer because you had a safe, now they are less safe because thieves know exactly what houses have home safes and thus where they should go to steal from.

I'm pretty sure "important documents" in the average person's home safe have very little value to thieves.

Suppose he's talking about real safes, security safes. Not fire safes.

And suppose this conversation is about real guns. Not nerf guns.
