I didn’t watch the video, and maybe they cover it, but I’d be willing to bet they have gun safety and handling courses in Switzlerland as standard educational material.

If we brought such courses to American high schools, I wonder whether it would serve in some ways to damp the glamour of the thug culture.

I think it might.

I know that early familiarization with firearms reduces irrational fears of them and at the same time increases a rational respect for their destructive power.

At present far too many people only have a Hollywood movie/video game view about gun handling and firearm’s capabilities and limits. It’s a million miles from reality.
