Some firearms are rather expensive and if you own an expensive firearm, you're likely to own more than one gun.
That makes you a target of theft.
Most Americans are away from their home for 9-12 hours/day.
Thieves map the pattern and rob the house in the mid AM, before lunch.
Hmmmm.
OK, that's technically not impossible. A thief hacks into a police station, steals the gun ownership registry and then robs the guns while people are away.
Honestly, I think that is a stupid plan, though. If you have the resources to hack into police, wouldn't that resources be way better spent to hack for more valuable data? I wouldn't go for expensive guns, I would go for people with high income. Hack that information and then rob their houses.
Second, if I were a thief I would avoid the gun owners rather than targeting them, but maybe I'm just too cautious.
What it boils down to for me: I see it's a possibility, but I'd argue for giving that aspect the weight it deserves. Which isn't that much.
