I think its proper education of the kids pertaining to firearms. If you just hide the guns, well you know what kids do when you hide stuff. But if you educate them and involve them with the firearms they gain knowledge and respect for them. When I was a kid my dad didnt always have a safe but he always took me aside and showed the guns to me in a safe environment, and I also knew that if I ever wanted to see them i could just ask. I never ever touched them without him there. I dont see whats so difficult about that. I like citing history as well so: you rarely heard about this type of thing, or school shootings for that matter back in the 50's when kids with guns was a much more common thing I wonder why? (I really dont)
