Two for One!
[The reason this approach is not taken is because the people that support the Brady Campaign and/or the VPC have a solution in search of supporting evidence. They are not searching for a solution to a problem.
It’s like someone looked at the crime rate among people with non-white skin compared to white-skin and used that as justification for laws such as curfews, registration, tracking, and even preemptive imprisonment of non-whites all the while claiming they were intended to “prevent colored violence”. Hence the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence would have a sister organization called “The Brady Campaign to Prevent Black Violence.” They don’t seem to understand that “preventing crime” in this manner is akin to claiming someone is “guilty until proven innocent” as well as infringing on a host of other guaranteed rights.
And then without a hint of Irony:
Gun safes won’t work any better than trigger locks. California has mandated trigger locks and kids still get killed every year from guns that aren’t locked up. (Unfortunately, there is no way to know how many lives are saved by the trigger locks though. Obviously not everyone, but I’m sure some lives are saved.)

You see the people who preach gun control are fixated on “Gun Death” because they already have the “Solution” (banning all guns) so they invented a metric that best pointed to their “Solution” (of course there are lots of stories like this that point that even their fabricated metric doesn’t lead to their “solution”…even outside the US)
But even with this discussed Ubu hops in and without even a touch of shame states that “Safe Storage” laws don’t seem to work because “Children” are still getting shot (I question which definition of “Children” she’s using, as well as what circumstances she’s looking at for them getting shot) but of course the law law MUST be doing some good, even tho she has no evidence, facts, or data to show for that.
Its all wishful thinking, that they pretend is real because that just seems sensible….
