Gun rights groups are posturing to defy the Justice Department's model legislation published this week that gives states a framework for codifying gun storage rules. 

On Wednesday, the DOJ published a framework aimed at helping "more states enact sensible gun-safety laws," and includes requirements for securing firearms kept in residences and vehicles and requirements for reporting of lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement. 

"We cannot resign ourselves to losing our neighbors, our loved ones — even our children — to misuse of firearms that could have been kept safely out of reach," Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco said of the announcement. "The model legislation announced today provides states with new tools to improve the safety of legally-owned firearms and reduce the tragic toll of gun violence in our communities."
