Not withstanding responsible parenting, I believe that education would have the single-biggest impact. I learned about gun safety in an elective class that I took in elementary school, so the foundation (for me) was set at an early age. I own (and work with) guns now, so I had the added responsibility of teaching my son about them. Now, he views them as nothing more than a tool...and not a source of intrigue or curiosity.

I do find it interesting about your comment about "doing more." Not to say that something shouldn't be done, but there are far more child deaths from swimming pool accidents than that of accidental shootings. (http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~lambert/...olsvsguns.html) Using the two for comparison, why have guns become the issue? I'm not looking for an answer...just asking rhetorically.
