I didn't watch the trailer, but I really don't need to. Like Manic alluded to, there's nothing wrong with allowing people to know what to expect when they are purchasing a product. To tap dance around it is more of an offense to consumers than making it plain.
Plus, like snowy said, children should be taught to distinguish the differences between fiction and reality and the nuances of appropriate behavior from their parents. Sight unseen I would let my 10 year old watch the trailer without a shred of fear that she would pick up a gun and go all guttermouth at school the next day. It just doesn't happen that way.
