I'll pile on. My safe DID prevent some burglers from stealing my guns and having them used to rob, rape, maim, and murder, people. That said, I recall a case where several children were murdered in CA by a naked maniac with a pitchfork, partly, because the 14 year daughter/baby sitter who was trained and shot regularly, was unable to get to her parent's pistol because it was in a lockbox per CA law...for children's safety.
The bedside lockbox I used when my son was small was NOT crow-bar proof. I can see anti-gun politicians declaring that to be insufficient without considering it's purpose as temporary quick-access-storage while you're asleep. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile and "safe storage" laws will become "smart gun laws" etc.
Likewise, 1 size does NOT fit all regardless of bureaucratic red tape. There was a time when I was single and could count my guns on 1 hand with a couple fingers left over. I stored the ones I wasn't using/carrying disassembled with the parts hidden in creative places throughout my home. I'm convinced that they were more secure than the guns are in my safe now but I've got enough now, that it isn't practical to do that anymore.
