Better to instruct your children in the safe and responsible handling of firearms so that they'll develop a respect for them (and the "forbidden" nature of the guns won't be so attractive). You either don't keep guns in your house at all or you instruct your children in their proper use and care. The analogy being, of course, that You either don't Keep a Tree of Knowledge in Your garden at all or you instruct Your children in its proper use and care from the beginning.

I've heard an explaination that God allows sin in this world so we can see His love. If there was no sin, then we wouldnt be able to see God's work, or need him at all. So in a skewed sort of way it's for our own good.
