like the fellow says...
NO law, rule, or regulation will do this. You simply cannot make all people do what they ought to do, without coercive force. Some percentage of the people will always either simply ignore sound advice or believe they know better.
Once upon a time, gun safety was often taught at schools. Many schools had rifle teams (smallbore) and had rifles stored on the premises. That's a far cry from today's "gun free zones".
A lot of our nation's youth attended a Hunter Safety Course by the time they were 14. For nearly 100years the only mission of the NRA was to promote gun safety and marksmanship.
It is ironic that in a nation that has become so obsessed with safety that gun safety is denigrated or even ignored, because so many people have been trained that guns are "bad" and "dangerous".
People who believe this find it better, in their eyes, to have nothing to do with guns, at all, including the basic concepts of how to safely handle them. Then they cry about accidents and those "accidents' that aren't accidents but are caused by ignorance or outright stupidity. They will fall into a fit of concern about a child not wearing a bicycle helmet, but refuse to have a child taught how to check to see if a gun is loaded, or even to be taught not to point the muzzle at themselves or others. And at the same time, video entertainment teaches kids the opposite, daily.
This is the world we live in today. In some ways, we are better off than we were in the past, but in other ways, we aren't.
