One person asking me the ludicrous question of whether guns may be shown on television in Canada, and you saying children are sent out of the room when it happens.

The issue here has NOTHING TO DO with children seeing guns.

It has to do with children knowing a handgun is present in their home, because children tend to want to lay hands on things like that, as we see in this forum with depressing regularity.

Edited because one just never knows when something has to be spelled right out.
