Half of all states have laws explicitly concerning gun owners and child gun accidents (mixed bag, as they can't decide whether to consider it a felony or a misdemeanor). All states have scores of laws that would be applicable, though not explicit. I posted about it this recently.

"There are few laws in place to hold adults responsible. "
Of course. Adults write the laws!
The problem is not the absence of laws, but the absence of prosecutors willing to pursue them. That's why we have this strange perception of lawlessness. We don't have this problem when a teen takes his dads keys and goes on a joyride. There's no question in your mind that you are going to be liable. Shouldn't be any question regarding guns either.
