“why not a government program to”

... teach safe handling, via hands-on live-fire training, to everyone in public schools?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

I'm no fan of government programs, but God knows we've already got a boatload of them, so this would seem to be at least one with little potential downside.

I could see parents getting squishy about bringing live guns to schools, live fire exercises, etc.. But honestly, what sane person would oppose even a PSA campaign encouraging trigger locks?
