I highly doubt all Canadians meet those minimum requirements. There is no way to enforce such a law. That is why gun control laws would not have done anything to prevent this incident. The parents should have had the weapon out of the child's reach, period. This is an "idiot incident", we don't need another 10 laws trying to prevent something like this happening again when common sense can't even prevent it.
Stupid people... that's all it was.

They enforce it when they see it happen. For instance, this family in Ohio would lose all their guns and be charged. Nothing will happen in this case, since there is no law on the books.
And yes, if police are called to your house for an incident involving a firearm then they are going to inspect your storage methods. If you are not following the rules then you get charged, possibly losing your firearms.
Seeing people charged with stuff like that acts as a deterrent for most people, even though it should be common sense already.
But I agree, they were stupid and stupid people probably aren't going to care anyway.
