They should also ban all weapons of all kinds, since I could accidentally get hurt on a shooting range, or by a knife-thrower at the circus. The burden of protecting your children generally falls to you as a parent, not to the patrons of whatever unfortunate bar you chose to cast your self-righteous shadow over (why are you taking your kids to the bar again?). You do not have a legal right to enter any establishment you please - they reserve the right to refuse service - therefore you have no legal right to force those same establishments to make concessions for you, just in case you decide to drop in. Your accusation of self-gratification is terribly ironic.
