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.

Nah, it works for the majority. And it's not kids who
need "gun safety" training, it's the gun-owner parents.
Aside from the occasional mass shooting and celebrity
murder, the great majority of people hardly ever think of
guns. They know the guns they see in movies are props,
and that those in video games aren't real.
When more people hunted, youngsters got some gun
"training." Hunting population is way down to about 15
million licenses issued a year. Less than 5% of the
population. That's all long gun. And hunters kill
hunters every season, and always have.
Nearly all gun deaths occur at the hands of the low-
income criminal element, and gun-owners. You can pick
your own set of statistics showing how many people own
guns. But you won't find anything showing even near a
majority.
If you don't hunt, live or travel in a high crime area
and you're not a gun-owner, the only reason to even think
of a gun is you're paranoid, or you like shooting as a
hobby. I got nothing against hunters, paranoids, or
range shooters, as long as they keep their weapons out of
the hands of criminals and psychos, and confine
themselves to shooting other hunters, criminals, range-
shooters, and their own family members.
I can't figure out why they want to force the kids of
non-shooters to take gun training. Why?
Just who the **** do they think they are?
A guy works hard to raise his kids in a low or no-crime
area, teaches them that guns are dangerous and run away
when they see one. They never even see a real gun all
their young lives except on a LEO. When they're adults
they can buy all the guns their hearts desire.
But the NRA and their gun nut buddies want them taught in
the 1st grade that "guns are safe."
God damn that's too stupid for words, and something out
of "1984" or some commie or other totalitarian regime.
So if tell them to **** off, well hell, excuuuuse meee.

So, I see the left is firmly back to straight out name calling and
political trolling... Wondered how long it would last... Great. It was
nice for about a week..

Where in my post you just referenced do you see name calling or
political trolling? There's nothing political about my disdain for
"hunters"

Ah, OK. So for the majority, guns are not a problem, and so they don't need to be regulated or banned. Sounds good.

One of the most liberal and heavily taxed states is big into regulating
and banning guns. That state doesn't seem to have a lack of gun crimes,
violence, or accidents to show for it's big brother M O.

Because illegal guns are too easy to come by. Most gun crimes are
committed using guns that were illegally gotten.

Maybe you missed it, but the majority has already
regulated and banned guns. That's why it's working for
them.
