I imagine I could teach you NOT to put your hand in boiling water.

How about a lesson in NOT drinking poison?

It's real obvious you lack the self-confidence to admit making an error. You keep singing this "turning responsibility over to the schools" song to give yourself a philosophical position from which you can fight against acknowledging you've painted yourself into a corner.

Fine...just declare victory, and run away.

Oh! Sorry. I see from you last sentence you already have!

What corner have I painted myself into and what makes you think I've made an error? Understanding there are exceptions, in general, when history teachers teach the Constitution or the founding of this country to your children, are you satisfied with the lesson? Do you agree with the slant they've put on it? What slant are the instructors going to put on this class? I don't trust the schools because I believe the evidence is clear that, as institutions, they are overrun with socialists and communists and are doing everything they can to spread their ideology to my children.

Gun safety or firearms training in public schools, IMO, is just another attempt to erode the Second Amendment (or will become so).

Maybe you're more trusting in the government than I am, maybe you don't have kids in government schools. But that doesn't mean I've painted myself into a corner, and not turning over responsibility for my children isn't "singing a song."

You will not convince me that this is a good idea. Clearly I won't persuade you that it's a bad idea. So I'll teach my kids gun safety and you can do what you like.
