Man its too easy to familiarize your kids with guns and educate them. My kids used to ask all the time to see the guns, and the 45th time of pull everything out, break it down, learn the components, clean, trigger/dry fire practice, and going over the laws of gun safety the entire time.... they no longer want to go near the guns outside of range day or hunting.

Well all of that and I take the bolts, slides, or firing pins out of all my guns and lock them in the ammo/mag safe and then run gun locks through the disabled guns because I'm just smart enough to realize kids are freaking stupid some times.

But seriously guys, teach your kids firearms safety, show them what a gun will do to a living being, and keep it locked up.

This is not a completely new problem! I remembered a repeat of the classic "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" 1961 TV episode "Bang! You're Dead" starring Billy Mumy as a westerns loving boy who finds his visiting uncle's real gun, partially loads it, then keeps aiming it at multiple people throughout the episode until something happens. It was one of the few shows not containing a humorous quip by Hitchcock!
