It's a (sometimes sad) fact of life that kids will muck around with things, and will (sometimes) get injured.

I am not saying that kids getting injured is a good thing, but it is how we learn what to do and what not to do.

I am not for an all out ban on airguns (as Xaccers said they do have legitimate uses, and also many people use them recreationally with no incidents), but people with airguns who also have kids SHOULD lock the guns away when not being used. Even if you don't have a lockable cupboard or box, it only costs a few quid for a decent padlock which you can attach to another cupboard or sturdy box.

A few quid is a lot less than child's life.

Not that I am having a go at Airgun owners.
