I agree with Tom about the fact that if these accidents with guns thought to be unloaded don't stop they'll be legislation. In the past two months there have been three cases within my area where kids have been killed or injured with guns.

Don't have links but in one case a dad killed either his or daughter while cleaning his gun. I believe the other two involved kids playing with guns left laying around.

I really don't know what type of legislation would prevent this. Maybe lowering the standards necessary to make the parent criminally responsible or requiring guns to be locked. Neither would seem to be very effective. The parent who is negligent enough to leave a loaded guns around kids is likely to pay much attention to either.
