Sounds like your kids need to be trained to also give a polite “no” or “I don’t know”. Docs against Glocks think that kids will be more likely to spill the beans to the godlike figure in the white lab coat looming over them.

Clearly you go after the kids. But training them to lie is a LOT MORE than just about firearms. For example, if you spank them and they spill the beans, you might just get visited by a social worker. If you’re rude to the social worker, you might get set-up by her and it’s bye-bye kids, until you can prove that you’re a fit parent.
But if your kid understands to simply say NO to that question, then nothing happens. And if your kid understands that saying YES to that question might land them with a new set of parents, you will have the kid’s attention and they will obey you.
One of my kids got injured at home. It was the kind of injury that might get reported as abuse. So I scattered out of town booked a motel, and mom took him to the ER. No problem...with dad not around, no reason to suspect abuse.
Parenting today is tough, when you have an army of people dedicated to separating you from your kids.
