re:"But if you have a weapon and you neighbor's kid gets killed with it while your kid was showing it to him, can you be sued?"

Yes, why not? And in some jurisdictions, you may find yourself being charged with manslaughter.

re:"It's hardly a social service"

What good is a right, if you have no means to express it? If protection of one's life and property is not a social service (dependent upon the competence of local law enforcement), they why deny the means to protect one's life from violent criminal (and unlawful) attack?
