I've taught Eddie Eagle to a number of kids. I don't see any message that guns are inherently dangerous. The program discusses many safety issues, street crossing, household safety etc. along with gun safety. It never says that guns have no value, it just teaches kids that guns are not toys and are not for them to use. Real guns are for adults, not kids.
Eddie Eagle teaches "Stop, Don't Touch, Leave the Area, Tell an Adult," not "Stop, Hyperventilate, Run Screaming, Breathlessly call the Police Because that Big Black Gun Might Shoot Me."
The kids I've taught have a healthy respect for guns. Most of them have gone on with Scouting and shoot BB guns as part of their Cub Scout experience. Several also shoot .22's at camp and other places.

Eddie Eagle focuses on gun safety not danger.

OTOH, comic books from NAMBLA front organizations showing "Heather's Three Daddies" making out in the hot tub are just fine for kids.

I have the Beretta .40 cal and then safety, and other switches on it are on the other side.

"These are things that usually aren't brought up to children," Karas said. "This is an introduction." But showing kids how to put a condom on a banana won't "introduce" the notion of sex to them? What you want to bet this guy is all for sex ed, the younger the better.

"Liberals apply this logic to their anti-gun agenda, and a reverse logic to their sex education agenda.
On the one hand, kids don't need to know anything about guns except that they're bad. And on the other hand, children in fifth grade need to know everything about sex, so they can do it safely. "
My thoughts exactly -- bears repeating.
