GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

Gun handling isn't a way of life for many millions of people in this country. However, gun violence and the threat it poses to public safety is a major problem for a large portion of the concerned citizens in this country.

You say teaching kids gun safety (beyond telling them to keep their hands off guns unless permitted/supervised by a responsible adult) won't help resolve gun violence in this country. I agree completely.

You say teaching kids gun safety (beyond telling them to keep their hands off guns unless permitted/supervised by a responsible adult) couldn't hurt. I think it might well hurt. We don't need more kids being indoctrinated to guns; something which is not a natural part of life for many. Gun handling doesn't belong in schools, in my strong opinion.

As for your wish for special accommodations to be made for extreme gun enthusiasts or collectors, if you can't afford to store all of your arms safely in a house where children are present some or all of the time, sell some of your guns so that you can afford proper storage and be a responsible law-abiding adult and gun owner. I don't think that's unreasonable.
