This has been my experience. I was raised in a house where a loaded gun was kept behind the front door all the time. This was years ago when we had to hunt for our food. All us children had a healthy respect for guns because we saw things die when the guns were used. The problem now is that children are insulated from such "traumatic" scenes. The only consequences they see from guns is what they see on TV, which they know is not real.

They always see it and right away come get an adult. Education is the key to gun safety.
