Firearm homicide is the second leading cause of injury death for youth, and firearm suicide is the fifth leading cause of injury death for youth (CDC, 2011c). The safety measures of using a gun lock, keeping the gun and ammunition separate, and putting the guns in a locked cabinet will at least make the guns less accessible. Telling a child that a gun is dangerous and not to be touched will probably make it more fascinating. Even with knowledge of the proper use of a firearm, a 10-year-old child's judgment may not be mature enough to prevent misuse of it.
