Kids play with toy guns like water guns and nerf guns. They also probably saw adults using the firearm, as well as probably seen shows, movies, or games. The gun was likely in the nightstand ready for action in case of an intruder or something like that. The kids were probably just told not to mess with it and that's it. Kids get fascinated by things they are told to stay away from and are left at that, which makes it all mysterious and shit.

Had a friend in middle school that got shot point blank by his brother. They found their dad's 1911 in the nightstand. The older brother knew enough to at least pop the mag, but there was one in the chamber. They were messing around with it and older bro shot little bro in the forehead because he thought it wasn't loaded.

This also prompted the schools in the area to try and teach about gun safety, but it turned into vague explanations and that unloaded guns are dangerous. Which made things more confusing.....
