Worst case scenario is that you end up training a Libtard how to shoot who later uses such knowledge for some sort of libtard agenda that isn’t so good, or even evil. Use wisdom in who and what, you train and teach.

I don’t think there is a libtard agenda that would be helped by knowing more about guns. The truth shall set you free, etc. From what I have seen, a few shooting lessons gives even liberals a sense of accomplishment in a semi-forbidden subject, which is thrilling and a source of pride especially among them. It’s like having a secret double life of exotic adventure, that one can hint of in conversation.
I have seen these things get to a one-upmanship game about who has shot more, hunted more, or used more “evil” guns. In the end everyone ends up admitting they like guns. This is the key - liberals are all about social consensus, being much more socially anxious than conservatives.
Conservatives of course see shooting as no more odd than golf. To understand the appeal to liberals one has to live among them. This also explains why liberals hate shooting venues - easily available shooting experiences undermine the consensus.
The smarter ones want to keep temptation away from their fellows.
