RE: Gun control - my unpopular opinion

in #politics6 years ago

What do you think of the idea of having gun safety class a part of the national curriculum in Jr. high and in High school as a required class?
Like in Jr high they get a semester of videos and lessons, show an tell with a plastic replica gun that comes apart like a real gun, maybe a cop comes in and tells stories then they get a field trip to a range and shoot .22 single shot bolt actions under supervision,
then in High school they do the same thing but more advanced and with pistols and rifles? And no one would be forced to shoot if they didnt want to touch a gun but they would have to do the classwork.

Sort:  

That is certainly an interesting idea. I do think that I was lucky to be able to get the training at that age, through Boy Scouts. It certainly is VERY important to teach them that the guns themselves are not the problem...I have noticed that the crazy anti-gun people tend to be the people who have never even held a gun before.
