It's about protecting children from (arguably) harmful radiation -in the same way some drugs or other toxic substances cannot be sold legally for children's use. To take this argument to the extreme... you wouldn't want a toddler to be the legal owner of a gun. It's beyond the parenting question of whether it is good for the child's development to rely on weapons in order to feel secure - it's much more about being just too plain dangerous.

Make sure the government enforces good parenting. Don't let the parents decide, heaven forbid! Oh, yes, it’s great idea! Make sure the government enforces good parenting.
