| Apr 11, 2011 at 1:25 | comment | added | Uticensis | @Jonathan What is "just being parents", exactly? Are you saying that parenting can't intersect any other unrelated topic or it will be closed? E.g., that a question like, "What kind of bike would be good for a 3 year old?" should be closed because not all parents bike, or have children who would be in the position to do so? | |

Say certain places in America are more likely to have parents which wish to show their children about firearms, it's more specific than just being parents. | |

Let's analogize your question another way: "Surely, if a couple decides to commit to having kids, they should already be familiar with parenting strategies before they undertake such a momentous decision as bringing a new life into this world? Why can't they ask their parents how they did it? Why do we need to pollute the StackExchange network with subjective questions and nannying personalities that come part and parcel with a Parenting site?" Would that be fair? | |

The only reason they'd ask here and not a family member/neighbour/friend, would be if they lived in an area/or family where children generally don't have firearms. | |
