When my kids became teenagers, I sold off the gun collection cuz they were better at finding things than I was at hiding things, and I could not chance the consequences...
You should have read the book by Mas Ayoob, "Gunproof your Children" (as opposed to "Childproof your Guns") before getting rid of your firearms. Sounds like you had some nice guns that you'll never see again for no good reason. Bummer.
If I made a mistake about selling a gun, I can buy a new gun. If I make a mistake about a kid accessing a gun, that kid is gone forever. I am not unhappy with my decision in any existential sense, tho I do have a bit of nostalgia.
Sometimes kids are more complicated than even experts in child psychology like Ayoob can comprehend. Sometimes children are even more important than guns.
