I agree that storage requirements are quite stringent compared to what they used to be, but they are not as strong as you may think.
Both non-restricted firearms and its ammunition don't need to be locked in a case. One can remove the bolt, or put a trigger lock on, or put it in a locked case. A shotgun or rifle can be sitting in a closet all day long as long as it has a trigger lock applied or bolt removed. While it may stop someone from using the gun as soon as they grab it, it hardly prevents it’s theft or use by someone that is determined to use it.
Restricted firearms must be stored as you describe, but the cases that meet the requirement are a joke. A properly bolted down safe should be mandatory.
I have several firearms, both restricted and non-restricted and I have no problem with stronger storage rules.
