A big thing IMO is to not make guns taboo or a mystery. If you say they are bad and don't ever let your child touch them, you're just asking for it. My dad made it very clear when I was young to not handle firearms when I was young if I found one. However, if he was around if I wanted to go shooting just let him know and off we went. I shot lots of different guns at lots of different things. The mystery wasn't there, so curiosity didn't get the cat. You tell a kid to never touch guns they are bad, most kids are gonna touch one and since they have no experience with them, they will end up doing something stupid. Guns are only as dangerous as the person using them...
