I know Teddy Roosevelt isn’t popular here, for some good reasons, but he thought that every boy should learn marksmanship with a rifle in school. It’s too bad that didn’t become the standard.

Irrational fears of guns are greatly lessened. The fantasies that movies, books and politicians put forth are more easily seen for the nonsense they are.
Rational fears ARE learned. IOWs a healthy respect for what firearms actually can do is understood.
I think that that demystification of firearms greatly reduces the chances that a person will mishandle or misuse a gun whether intentionally or unintentionally.
I don’t know why Teddy Roosevelt wouldn’t be popular but anyway, side note. He is a subject of ghost stories.
