So, you feared your kids finding it, my kid always knew where it was and how to handle it and when to leave it alone. Watching it kill something, was all it took for her at age 5 to learn, THAT IS NO TOY.
My dad when I was 6, let me shoot his double barrel 12(with no recoil pad, with Turkey shot. I didn't touch that gun until I was 51 and dad past away.
Education, works better than ignorance.
When you kid turns 21, what stops them from obtaining a firearm, and then have no clue how to use it, and think it is a toy.
It is best to teach kids their constitutional rights at a young age. Letting them know, their rights are very dangerous to others.

Too many guns to my liking, love of guns, talk of guns, need for guns, threads about guns...
Seems some people can not only be a little excessive in these regards, and often just as presumptuous, far too quick to invoke ignorance when more often than not, the ignorance is in so doing. Why bother reply when those so inclined spend their time polishing and admiring their guns? No good answer to that question, but just FYI, I enjoyed a good many target shooting fun times with friends and family over the years, using all types of guns that they owned.
Not really my thing beyond the occasional fun here and there. My immediate family isn't much into guns either, but we still enjoy life plenty and don't feel any more scared or threatened than anyone else I don't think, gun-totting or not.
Based on my observations, there is more ignorance displayed by those who think "education" about guns is somehow all the safety or protection they think it is. This is the sort of notion that only someone who doesn't follow the news could put out. I would love to list all the gun accidents or assaults by "educated" gun owners, on themselves, their relatives or whomever might p*ss them off just a bit too much, but I don't have that sort of time...
If only Dick Cheney had been a little better "educated!"
