re: #260 Feline Fearless Leader

That would imply that working some sort of firearms safety training into our education standards would not necessarily be a bad thing. Especially given that elimination of them from society is pretty unlikely given the political climate.

We are not eliminating drugs, or sex, and we have adjusted by trying to educate about them, so I guess adding guns to the equation is not that much further of a stretch.

I’m all for it, but the costs of getting it thru the BS (legislative, judicial, PTA, propaganda etc) are daunting.

Case in point. One good thing the NRA has is their Eddie Eagle program —teaching young children what to do if they see a firearm. It’s totally NOT indoctrination (at least when we used it to education our son it wasn’t). It’s a very good program.

Yet because it comes from the NRA, you don’t see it anywhere. In fact, we teach our kids saftey rules about everything BUT basic gun safety in public schools.

There is a real stigma/fear about it and I find it very sad.
