like amny things in life, its not the what that is the prob its the how.
having your kids doctor bringing up potental risks in the home of which things like chemicals, plants, sharp objects, eletrical outlets and yes even guns, is them being a good doctor. Using it for a political agenda or for other purposes is not.
Just as a FYI, if all you see is the evils of a object, it does not take long for one to see that object as evil. It does not matter what that object is.
