Hawaii could start by making all gun owners liable for whatever happens with their gun, even if it's stolen.
Maybe people would actually lock them up properly then and we don't have to keep reading about gun thefts in the paper.

Imagine that the responsible gun owner has a 1,000 pound gun safe, it is bolted to concrete floor and the guns inside are locked via trigger locks and no ammunition is stored in the house. Somehow the safe itself gets stolen or broken into. The guns with their trigger locks being cutoff, are then used in a crime with ammunition stolen or acquired elsewhere. Is it the gun owners fault? Did the gun owner not take all reasonable precautions?

You have a nice set of kitchen knives. They are in a pretty knife holder on your kitchen counter. Your house is broken into and the knives stolen. Later, one of the knives are used to stab someone. Is it your fault or the knife manufacturers' fault?
