Again, the safe is so that the kid does not gain access to the gun. I would like to reduce the possibility of the kid getting the gun. The safe seems like the most realistic method to accomplish that.

There's plenty of unregistered guns in CT...they were grandfathered in...Much like will happen if the Federal government begins a national registration. If she were to buy a weapon in another state, and bring it into CT where it's banned, there's laws that require it be sold, permanently deactivated, or turned in to the state police.
While I understand, and agree with you that a safe seems like the most realistic method, it will be just another law that cannot be enforced until after the fact...meaning that LEO's won't know until the gun is stolen or used in a crime by someone other than the lawful owner.
I agree that something needs to be done, perhaps on a national level. but the less restrictive and best method would be to educate about gun safety, and that can be done in the public schools with posters and literature.
