This.
Responsible gun ownership involves a lifestyle change and an attitude change.
When I purchased a firearm, BEFORE I LOADED OR SHOT a single bullet out of my spoon, I attended an NRA basic safety course.
There are plenty of opportunities to learn and understand gun safety, but unless a person adopts gun safety guidelines into their lifestyle, it won't make a difference. Those who sign up for gun safety courses are most willing to adopt this lifestyle - or they have already adopted that lifestyle.
BTW: here are points that everyone (not just gun owners) should know:
1. Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
2. Finger off the trigger until you have aquired your target.
3. Don't point the muzzle at anything you do not wish to destroy.
4. Mind your target and what is behind it.
