Maurice, I agree with you pretty much, but I'm sure your kids are a bit older now. Leaving a loaded gun around a young, pre-school child would be dangerous as well as poisonous products. The very young need to learn danger.
I paid the price with the car keys when my gf's daughter came home from a date, got into a fight with her boyfriend and decided to chase after him in my Yukon in the middle of the night. The car was totaled 5 minutes later when she ran it into a boulder. However, she was a mess long before I ever met her due to bad parental guidance and am happy to say she finally "got it" and grew up to be a very responsible young lady.
I know our parents educated us very well in what was and was not permitted and didn't need the government to raise us.
