IDK about where the person you are replying to is from, but I see it as a viable strategy in the US. There are too many stories of children playing with guns and killing someone. Teaching firearm safety and demystifying them is like teaching sex ed.
Not having firearms everywhere is a better answer, but I can only control so much.
Not from the US, I have plenty of deadly stuff at home: cleaning products, solvents, medicines, sharps, electric stuff. The solution to that is fucking look after your children or don’t have any, not give them a fucking gun when they are eight ffs.

Is it not possible to look after your child while teaching them about gun safety or something?
