I see. There is rarely a day that goes by without some news
regarding gun control issues or coverage of a gun related accident in
the media. That's what I am referring to in the statement "firearms
and their use are so prevalent in our society"

But it appears your solution is to stick your head in the sand and
pretend it doesn't exist. Apparently in your mind "It doesn't apply
or affect me, so there's no need to be involved in the solution".
Sounds like a typical response of the "Me" generation.

No, guns haven't affected me at all. And I'll do my best
to keep it that way. I'm here saying me and countless
others will resist any attempt to foist guns on our kids
in school in the guise of teaching "gun safety." You can
teach your kids about guns all you want and I couldn't
care less. Or about safe "drug use" for all I care.
If you think me stating MY view about public education is
"sticking my head in the sand" you're not very logical.
Keeping guns from criminals and psychos is an entirely
different issue than foisting guns into public education.
The law part interests me because it's entertaining
hearing all the illogical bull****, lying and hypocrisy.

I don't think guns and their ownership by private citizens will ever
be, nor should it ever be prohibited. Like it or not, they are part
of your life, whether you choose to own one or not.

What the **** did I just tell you!? You hard of hearing?
Guns play NO ****ING ROLE IN MY LIFE. NADA! The only
time I even think about them is when I feel like
discussing them in a forum full of gun nuts. You just
can't understand that I guess. But it's true for me and
for the great majority of people.
IF YOU DON'T OWN A GUN YOU DON'T NEED "GUN SAFETY."
Most people DON'T own a gun, and even fewer kids.
Hey, why don't you suggest "safe fishing" courses for
schools. Makes more sense. Abu-Garcia will love you.

So what's wrong
with some general education in the safe handling and dangers
associated with them so people are better informed overall? If the
only input young people receive is in Hollywood movies or some video
game I don't think they are getting a realistic or helpful image of
what firearm ownership is all about.

What's wrong with it? I don't ****ing want my kids
exposed to guns. THAT'S WHAT WRONG WITH IT. When
they're adults, they can make their own choices.

So, you are for parental control of what gets taught in the school
system as long as it goes along with your own particular point of view?
I get it..

They expose kids to guns in school????
