Still a real slippery slope. What if you don't realize your gun was missing? It's not like most people set there and pull them out all the time and look at them. It's secured and you really don't think much about it - you know it's there if and when you need it. You've never had something stolen and didn't realize it until much later?
And it wasn't really a gun/car comparison. It could have been anything. It was meant to show that, when being responsible, people shouldn't be penalized. Forget the car, let's say somebody breaks into your house and steals your autographed Derek Jeter baseball bat and uses it to bash in somebody's head? Your fault? Certainly not.
