  It basically already is, it just isn’t stated as such.

  Treat every weapon as if is loaded untill you have personally and properly verified that it is not.

  Never, EVER, point a gun at anything you do not intend to destroy.

  …

  Those two are in basically any gun safety rule set you can find.

  Note that number 2 there makes no exception for ‘my finger wasn’t on the trigger’ or ‘the gun was in a desk drawer’ or ‘i didn’t think it was loaded’ or ‘i thought the safety was on’.

  A lot of people will read or be told number 2 and just insert all those non existent caveats into the rule.
