Who is responsible for ensuring that children do not have unauthorized access to firearms?

  1. The firearm manufacturer

  2. The child

  3. The firearm owner

  4. Local police

The correct answer is: The firearm owner

The firearm owner holds the responsibility for ensuring that children do not have unauthorized access to firearms. This obligation is crucial for promoting safety within the home and the community. Responsible gun ownership entails taking appropriate measures to securely store firearms, such as using lock boxes, gun safes, or trigger locks, and also educating others in the household about firearm safety. While manufacturers play a role in creating safety features in firearms, the ultimate responsibility to safeguard against unauthorized access lies with the individual who owns the firearm. Children, by their nature, cannot be expected to take on this responsibility for their own safety regarding firearms. Local police can assist in educating on firearms safety but are not responsible for individual households. Thus, the firearm owner is the key individual responsible for preventing children’s access to firearms.
