I think you are missing the point. It's quite the opposite. A gun is inherently dangerous and can be made safer by proper handling of it. Mishandling such a weapon only allows its full potential for in jury to show itself. My Rifle or shotgun's bullets are no less deadly because I am carrying it rather than a child. Should I make a mistake the results are the same as if an untrained kid was shooting.
To treat a gun with a caviler attitude like that is not something I ever would want to do. Remind me not to shoot with you, because where I come from I was taught that the first rule is to always assume it's dangerous (aka it's loaded). To assume its safe because "you know what you are doing" is asking for trouble.
