3 year olds safecracking

Forbes.com: Unsafe gun safes can be opened by a 3 year old.

I've been thinking a bunch recently on government intervention. On Wednesday, I saw CPSC Sues Maxfield & Oberton Over Hazardous Buckyballs® and Buckycube™ Desk Toys, which seems far overreaching.

But then we come back to the gun safe story, and that contains elements of both why things like CPSC standards are a good idea, and how government regulation, the alleged California DOJ certification, can fall completely flat.
