One of the ,most fundamental aspects of gun safety is control of the firearm, including placing it under lock and key when not being used. Responsible owners do not store them in the nightstand or under the carseat when children are around. Child-related firearm events are very, very rare, probably much less than children dying from ingesting carelessly stored narcotics, setting fires from available matches, or pouring kettles of steaming water on themselves, but they do get much more press. There is no such "open season". Respectfully, your argument might make more sense if not for the bellicose emotion.
