We need to have rifle clubs back in the schools. That’s where I learned to shoot properly and gun safety was drilled into us. And guess what...we never shot one person!

We used to come in from duck hunting in the morning with shotguns in the gun racks of our trucks. We also had a rifle club in junior high.

Our junior high annual has a picture of the Rifle Club and they are all standing there outside the cafeteria with a few guns (mostly .22’s) in the picture on school grounds.

Our local 4H still has shotgun and small bore (up to .22) going. We have wonderful instructors and matches are well managed.

Kids that attend come away a crack shot (if they have it in them) and know how to handle a weapon safely. If they make repeated safety violations, the instructors have to unanimously evict the kid from the club. Rough job but you have to think about the other kids safety

Out away from Atlanta there are quite a few schools that have skeet and trap teams and the numbers were growing, at least. With ammo being off the charts it’s hard to feed the habit.
