On your second point, gun safety training should begin in the lower grades. The NRA Eddie Eagle safety course emphasizes that if a child discovers a gun, the child should: 1. Don't touch, 2. Leave the area, and 3. Tell an adult.

If you care to do that you can go back and read the entire opinion of the court or if you search the internet there are some synopsis of their opinion.
As for points 1,2,3. Here is the reality, 1) they will touch because it fascinates them, 2)They will not leave the area, 3)They most likely will not tell an adult. First I question whether an adult owns the gun because the child got his hands on it.
