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.

They advocated and force sex educaiton classes on each of our dimes.

There has been some form of sex education in schools since I was in
junior high school .... and that's a long time ago.

High schools used to have rifle shooting teams. They have never had ****ing teams, to the
best of my knowledge.

I think gun safety is a little more controversial and I can see why
some people would object. There's obviously much debate going on
about what to do to reduce the number of accidental deaths and
injuries with strong feelings across the board regarding the subject.
All I was doing was putting an idea on the table for discussion since
so many are frustrated that nothing is being done and the only answer
to some is to ban guns altogether. That's not going to happen anytime
in the near or distant future, so we should be talking about what
*can* be done that does not impose hardships on anyone or take away
their right to gun ownership.

People use to get run over and killed by horse horse drawn chariots.

People who want to do harm to others are going to do harm to others with whatever tool is
convienent at the time. That tool may be a gun, a stick, a frying pan or someother implement.
