Maybe you missed it, but the majority has already

regulated and banned guns. That's why it's working for

them.

You must have missed it, but it's NOT working for them. Making more
laws doesn't work. The criminals are already breaking the law, what's
one more law to them?

It's funny how you are so adamant about how people aren't going to
teach *your* children about guns, then you let it slip that you
"children" are actually adults.
Seems that you don't actually have a dog in this hunt,
other than to promote your particular political agenda.
You should probably let people that actually have kids
decide, not some old fart with an unrealistic view of
the world like yourself.

Have a nice day.

You still don't get it. The majority are happy enough
with current gun regulations/bans. Otherwise there will
be more regulations/bans, not less. That's been the
course of history, more regulations and bans, with some
exceptions in some states. It's not been teaching "gun
safety" in public schools. Since you seem to be a gun
nut worried about criminals, and want all children taught
"gun safety" in public schools, I'll tell you what I told
the others.
You want "gun safety" safety courses taught in public
schools, then ****ing work for it. Good luck.
In the meantime, I don't give a **** if you mortgage your
house to lawfully load it up with guns to defend yourself
against criminals. None of my business.
Nobody's stopping you, and I couldn't care less how you
defend your little castle.
I have grandkids in public schools, and my children feel
the same way about this for their kids. So that argument
doesn't work, unless you say I shouldn't care about kin.
Now, I've got no problem with anybody taking their
youngsters to the range or woods and teaching them
whatever they want about guns.
Why are you gun nuts asking taxpayers to shoulder your
responsibility in training your kids skills the majority
of people feel are unnecessary or undesirable for their
kids?
That's what I've noticed about gun nuts. Always wanting
to tell other people how their lives should be conducted
around guns.
They're always right. They just can't ken to the fact
that the majority of people have nothing to do with guns.
Here I am saying I'm fine with them legally loading up
with all the guns they want. That's not enough for them.
They want to tell others how to raise their kids.
Now there's plenty of gun-owners who don't do this, and
just go about their business.
Then you got your gun nuts.
Saying I have a "political agenda." Thinking that "gun
safety" classes in public schools hasn't already been
decided, and what they think is right should just be
implemented despite majority opposition. Saying my very
real and fairly long life has been "unrealistic" despite
it working out just fine.
Go figure.

------------------------------------

Take a deep breath and relax.

Nobody is advocating gun safety classes on your dime or anyone else's.
There are plenty of qualified "gun nuts", including law enforcement
personnel who would be more than willing to make safety presentations at
a school or other extracurricular activity. And again, it's not to
teach youth about how to become proficient in the *use* a gun. It's to
educate them as to the dangers of firearms and their safe handling
should they come in the presence of one. I can see it as a special
event, much like field trips, in which participation is voluntary and
with the permission of the parents for their kid to attend.

Why should the parents have any more say in this than they do in any
other issue shoved down the kids throats on a daily basis at school?

Like what for example?

Come back when you have been paying attention...
