Well, it's not good to teach kids that violence is OK. Ever. But in any case, I didn't say they let the kids play with
unloaded guns. I meant the kids play with guns. As in, they shoot things in their backyard. Fully loaded guns being fired by little kids is what I'm talking about here.

I wouldn't allow that either.

If so, I'm sure the kids know exactly where they are. I don't know about you, but when I was a kid I knew exactly where the things I wasn't supposed to play with (matches, lighters, knives, scissors, etc.) were hidden, and could have easily harmed myself or a sibling if my mother had been negligent and I had been an idiot child.

.... No. Believe it or not, I don't like the the thought of dead little kids whose deaths are the result of their stupid parents' love of extreme violence and unwillingness to protect their children from it.
