First you assume that you a parent doesn't teach their child gun safety. For non gun owners the idea of teaching children gun safety seems like you're encouraging them to chew glass, gun owners often recognize the value of teaching a child how to safely handle a gun and to respect it much like crossing the street ("No tommy, cars kill people, i'll never teach you to cross the street.") This also would assume that my child got a huge crow bar and broke into my safe. This also assumes you're also statistically unlucky. In 2000 80 children under the age of 15 died due to firearm accidents according the 2001 edition of Injury Facts by the National Safety Council. 120 suffocated on ingested objects, 660 were burned to death in a fire, 800 drowned, 100 were poisoned by solids or liquids, 140 died falling....the only thing that ranked lower was poisonin by gasses and vapors with 20 deaths. As you can see kids do get killed each year by firearms accidents, but you'd better worring about a locking bathtub and toilet covers or children drinking bleach if you want to do it "for the children."
