"The average response time of a 911 call is over 3 minutes....the response time of a .357 magnum is 1400 feet per second."

That's only if you can get to it. Most likely you"ll dead by then.

My concern, children finding guns that are not kept properly, under lock & key.

I agree. Responsible gun owners will keep their guns secured. Another preventative measure is to make sure children understand that some basic gun safety (NRA's Eddie Eagle program comes to mind - http://www.nrahq.org/safety/eddie/ ):

If you see a gun:
STOP!
Don't Touch.
Leave the Area.
Tell an Adult.

As for the suicides, guns are just one of any number of things that can be used - knives, razor blades, pills, cars, etc. The gun is not the cause - merely an implement to choose.
