LOL.
That doesn't sound like any more of a deterrent than the death penalty. If you're going to murder someone, you're going to murder someone. If you are going to be an idiot, you are going to be an idiot.

Well, when they enacted the law years ago, everyone I know went out and bought trigger locks.
Ya, there are plenty of idiots out there that are going to do whatever they want no matter what, but I'm sure you'd also find a few parents out there that thought they had their firearms stored reasonably well who ended up with a dead kid. If the law had been in place maybe they would have taken the extra step to ensure the safety of their kids.
No one used trigger locks that I knew of until they enacted this law.
