Sorry F.U. I was posting at the same time.
I thought you were talking about something beyond the gun safety verbiage that already exists.
I think the Eddie Eagle and similar talking points are good. Continuing such education in more schools is no problem, of course.
K through 4th graders what to do if they ever come across a gun…
1. STOP! This first step is crucial. Stopping first allows your child the time he or she needs to remember the rest of the safety instructions.
2. Don’t Touch. A firearm that is not touched or disturbed is unlikely to fire and otherwise endanger your child or other people.
3. Run Away. This removes the temptation to touch the firearm as well as the danger that another person may negligently cause it to fire.
4. Tell A Grown-up. Children should seek a trustworthy adult, neighbor, relative or teacher – if a parent or guardian is not available.

I agree that's ^ helpful and could help prevent shootings by children, especially if repeated at home. It definitely wouldn't hurt.
