There isn't an option for "neither". I'm the father of a 5-year old. He's barely allowed to use scissors. Any parent/guardian/caretaker that allows either to happen needs their own "timeout" to think about how they managed that. This is how kids get unnecessarily dead, and one of the reasons why there's a bias against guns in the US.
I'm assuming that you mean unsupervised, loaded, sharp, etc. So, yeah, it's an awful scenario as a parent.
