Everyone should let this be a lesson. Do not lock firearms away from children. Instead teach children proper firearms safety. Show children how dangerous firearms can be. Locking fireamrs away from children is the worst thing you can do, it creates an aura of mystery about them. Once you take away the stigma associated with firearms they become boring.
Just my two cents

"dont have guns in your house" sounds like better advice to me
