As written, I totally support this.
I have no problem with a school sending to every parent a form that tells them how to safely store their gun, and requiring that they sign to indicate they received the form.
If the form is inaccurate, I object to it and want it fixed. If the signing is them promising to store a gun in any particular way, I would also object.
But why do we oppose providing safe gun handling information?
Guns? What guns?
Really?
“But why do we oppose providing safe gun handling information?”
It’s none of their business how or where anyone stores their guns.
Who decides what is “safe”? More to the point, WHO IN THE HELL ARE THE SCHOOLS to pressure parents to do SQUAT ALL about guns?
You and I are taking similar positions on this. See my #18.
But why do we oppose providing safe gun handling information?

Because the intent of this form has nothing to do with safe gun handling or storage.
It’s all about submitting to the gun grabbling lobby that daily demands more restrictions and more intrusions on your 2A rights.
Interesting.
I don’t like the idea that a parent has to sign it.
I think I would reply “I store my guns at home safely. I’ve done my part. When will the public schools begin to teach gun safety and how to properly use a firearm, by a licensed instructor?”
“I have no problem with a school sending to every parent a form that tells them how to safely store their gun, and requiring that they sign to indicate they received the form.”
How about forcing parents to sign a form about the four food groups and the best meals at dinner time? Or about the proper bedtime for a kid? Or one about backyard swimming pool safety?
The school has zero GD business lecturing, hectoring, and educating parents. Hell, they suck at educating kids.
Parents don’t need some 26 year old educator lecturing them.
You’re serious...?
Okay, assuming you are:
Because:
a) It’s not about “safe storage”. It’s about using children to aid in identifying who has firearms in the community,
so that ...
b) Red Flag laws can then be used at a later date to seize those firearms...
and ...
c) so that the children can be ostracized, humiliated, and shamed into accepting that ...
d) guns are evil, and
e) people who OWN guns are evil, and
f) anyone who resists is evil.
Hope that’s clear enough. It’s pretty damned transparent.
Why we oppose? Because the school has ZERO role in getting into what goes on at home. That needs to be an iron curtain to keep the camel’s nose out. And when you sign the form or don’t sign it... they will roll it out if ANYTHING ever happens at your house to help build a case against you.
This is bullcrap.
Good. You’ll have no problem signing a form the school requesting your sexual history, perversions, fetishes and gender preference either.
But why do we oppose providing safe gun handling information?
It might just be the crackpot voice from which it emanates and we know the rest of the agenda so we would not be wise foxes to give credence to their forked tongue pleadings for something they present as good while they prepare the real agenda behind their backs and ours.
Trust must be earned and Progressives and/or those who place little value on the on the 2nd amendment or the first, don’t deserve our bended knee of respect, UNTIL EARNED.
If you can’t figure that out your on the wrong forum.
At what point do you say no to the Nanny State? If your doctor said you had to sign such a form, or worse, so that you could see him or her and get your prescription how would you feel then????
We don't. But if the school is going to send information on one politically charged topic, how about they send information from multiple viewpoints on multiple topics.
Do you really think they would send out a form on effect home and family defense tactics? Or a form describing ways in which you could prevent young children from being exposed to media content that they probably should not see? Or a form describing ways to protect your kids from radicalization by religious fundamentalists?
Because it is not about safe gun handling, it is about whether you have one or not.
