On the education side of this. While schools dont educate children about firearms anymore you as a parrent can. The NRA has had a program out called Eddie Eagle. It is a information packet that helps you talk with children and educate them about firearms. Here is a link if anyone is interested in this.

Help me out, F.U. I read all of your posts and typically have no problem seeing where you're going. But, I keep missing your point in beating the "education is key" drum for children and guns in regards to gun control.
If you're gonna let your kids use guns for any reason, you as a parent need to educate them about safety. Or, have them take a class. No arguments. It's being a responsible adult, nothing more or less.
How does this relate to gun control and making society safer?
Do you think the more young children that are exposed to guns and taught gun safety the safer society will be? That minimizing the chance of accidental shootings by kids who already have access to guns correlates to decreasing gun violence in society somehow?
Do you disagree that a child who's in a house with no guns and never had gun education is more safe from a gun accident or gun violence at home than one who has been taught about guns and is handing guns?
Do you disagree that it's fully irresponsible for parents to leave loaded guns anywhere in the home that children can reach or access/handle them, even if the child has been taught safety education?
Do you think that a child who's been taught gun safety is any more or less likely to be subject to rage, mental illness, criminal tendencies...as a minor or in adulthood?
Other than minimizing the risk of your children accidentally hurting themselves or others when you allow them to use guns, what is education the key to here?
Thanks, F.U. Honestly trying to understand.
