they rape and rob also? Evil, pure evil.

This statement is intriguing:

Long prison sentences for breaking into a car would be expensive and unfair, especially because there’s no serious penalty for someone who leaves their Glock in the glove compartment and it gets into a criminal’s hands.

So it is expensive and unfair to punish the person stealing the gun but plenty of money to lock up the guy who had his gun stolen after he locked it in the glove compartment inside of the locked car. I wonder if he gets a reduced sentence by using a trigger lock?
