Agreed. Want to buy a gun? Get trained first. That sounds reasonable.

What arguments could there be against it?

This seems reasonable to me. Also the requirement that guns be locked up when not in use. I would not go around looking to see of folks had unsecured guns but if your gun was used in a crime I would be inclined to charge you with something similar to accessory (or a similar term) to the crime.

You want to keep your shotgun loaded under the bed then you risk a lot if it is stolen and used in a robbery or worse.

I have a number of guns myself, all unlocked but none are loaded. The ammo is nearby but not immdiately adjacent to the weapons. If required by law or by my insurance I would lock them up without complaint.
