Exactly, who cares...that's the entire response from the left...who cares...
Then goes out and complains, about shooting. Damn if you teach someone that something is dangerous, it could never fall into anything else you've learned.
Thanks, you are the problem....
That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's whine and complain then when told there used to be a solution that is no longer done ...well who cares. You really can't make this stuff up....
Part of PE class in grade school... had a couple weeks of BB gun shooting in the gym. We also had archery (a different couple of weeks) ~ and it was the same PE class for all grades, so 6 years.
But we also had Music and Art classes too, which are frequently cut these days....
For us, it was a LEO that came in and just told us the basics. If you see a firearm assume it is loaded, don't touch it, and contact an adult. Something like that. So no real training just more an awareness thing. I think this was in elementary school.
It must have been a Texas thing, but we were all mandated to take gun safety and marksmanship in elementary school, in the 1970's. 5th and 6th grade and 1 week each year in gym class, dedicated to learning and exercising our 2nd amendment.
How times have changed. That would never fly in the city today...
But, I'd like to propose it to the city council just to get the entertainment of see the snowflakes completely melt.
Of course. At gun shops, firing ranges, you name if, in the USA. Gun-safety classes are easy to find, and Dads teach it to their kids when they try their first gun. And police departments and the armed forces get oodles of gun safety training. Only in third-world countries and terrorist groups do they skimp on it or expect people to learn the hard way, as that guy did.
Groups where they have little regard for life and true freedom, and spend all their energy on hating the world around them, trying to control them, and feeling sure that their own morality is superior to that of their subjects, do you find such stupidity and callous disregard. Groups like Hamas, Boko Haram, the U.S. Democrat party, middle-eastern pockets in France, etc.
There are more accidents with Glocks than any other brand of handgun. Cops nationwide use Glocks and have dozens of accidents yearly.
I have concluded from your statement that there are more accidents with Glocks because there are more of them out there and in use. Not because of a design flaw.
Who cares if firearm safety used to be taught in schools?
I thought we all agreed schools are failing students in the 21st century. Do you really think we need to take time out of the day for shooting lessons?
If you want a special afterschool gun program, I guess you can lobby your school board. I don't think we need one in my children's school.
For the record, I'm not afraid of guns. Nor am I trying to take everyone's guns away.
And you can compare something between two groups without comparing the entire group. FFS, this is so juvenile.
The program when I went to school in the 80's was not mandatory for all students.
It was a voluntary class for students who wished to take it prior to attending a Hunter's safety course.
I don't think anyone has said it should be a required course.
