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.

Kids are not taught about guns (except by Hollywood and video games), and in increasing numbers are killing each other with guns. I was taught as a young child about guns, as were most "back in the day", and those problems weren't anywhere close to as prevalent.

What you say worked for your kids sure doesn't seem to be working for a large majority of the population.
