Perhaps that, if one of these loonies goes off and starts shooting, there's a higher likelyhood that a child will be injured or killed.

Sure, but that supposes two things:

1. That there is any real increased likelihood of gunfire. In fact, considering the political point they're trying to make it might be true that this is the safest group of people to be around if you want to avoid being shot.
2. That a child being shot is worse than anybody else who might be shot.

I guess it also presumes that they're all loonies but I know you like to paint with as broad a brush as possible. So I just chalk that up to your own endearing looniness.

To GD's last point I'd say that if children aren't to be exposed to political BS then they should hold their activities elsewhere than in public places.
