Many of these parental activists rely on sensationalism and a public armed with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. While I don't agree with Ghost's premise as an absolute I would say a number of parents may fall into the groups outlined. Occhi's points that a parent has the right to choose based on whatever criteria or no criteria is also completely within a parent's perogative.
And kudos to you Occhi for teaching your children responsible handling of firearms. Parents coaching their children in the proper care, handling, and respect of firearms is, in my opinion, a good way to help prevent gun crimes.

My bigger task is teaching them the proper care, handling, and respect for another deadly weapon: an automobile.
American drivers kill 50K per year in this country with that deadly weapon. Most often, I suspect, operator error is the root cause.
