While true, it logically places the onus on supporters of gun safes to ideate and present a program that is significantly different from every other program previously attempted before further advocacy on the concept as well as to describe the legal mechanism by which it could be accomplished (that is, some method that would not be a violation of the 4th Amendment).
One problem with this, probably the biggest, is that the NRA has actively opposed any and all collection of data on basically all such issues. Whether it is research tracking how many guns are used on household members versus intruders, safety in households with safely stored guns versus more accessible guns, etc .. the NRA has put pressure on various entities, most particularly the CDC to limit collection of the data.
