Ain't gonna happen.

The fallacy in your views is that they are already exposed to guns.
They are in the movies they watch, the video games they
play, and the society they live in. Even the evening
news. They are all loaded with images of guns being
used the wrong way.
If you think you are keeping them safe by pretending
they don't exist, well, you're wrong. Hope it doesn't
cost them.

You seem to think that TV/movie/video-game guns are real.
They're not.
Or that I didn't tell my kids if they ever saw a "real"
gun except on the hip of a LEO, run away and report to
me. Well, I did, and they never reported seeing a gun.
Not one god damned time.
They're adults now, and one of them even has a gun all
for himself.
No "gun safety" class is ever going to prevent some
mother****er from shooting somebody. It'll just make
kids think guns can be "safe." They're not. I suspect
you know that already.
Guns are for adults. If you want to teach your kids "gun
safety," go for it. I'll decide what my kids get taught.
Don't need gun nuts telling me how to do that, and I'm
not telling them how to teach their kids.
