This should be in all 50 states/ I can hear the moms for action seething over this.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The way the commie RATS are acting up, they’re going to need it.

[Da Coyote]

Howz about throwing in some anti-leftist/DEI/idiot training to boot? The left is sooooo much more dangerous than guns.

invade whatever home happens to be the play of the day
+++++++++++++++++++++

Someone’s clutch is slipping...

[PrairieLady2]

I absolutely agree with this! Teach them as young as possible while they are impressionable.

[Myrddin]

My classmate, Mark Lewis, from Hilltop Junior High School in 1970 would be here today if safety classes had been available. Instead, he attended a party where a shotgun was mishandled. He was shot in the neck and died on the spot.

[Mean Daddy]

My high school had a .22 gun range for ROTC members. I think its still there.

[ChicagoConservative27]

So sorry

It’s a good first step. Once the dust settles, bring back the basement gun ranges in schools and follow up with rifle and pistol marksmanship training.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

The cubs have all had training with weapons but some of their friends have not.

The reasons vary as to why. If you can believe it some parents do not think it is necessary because "they have always been around guns". And they have always been around food, that does not mean they know how to cook. Others say that they will do it "some day when they are older". If you are in school you are old enough to learn the basics.

[DCBryan1]

Heh....should be a short class. Most kids in AR know more than adults on gun safety.

[Mathews]

I agree. We had Hunter Safety Course’s in Colorado. We also had a rifle team in high school. Those kids could shoot!

[No name given]

Good idea.

[libertylover]

It’s a good idea but I’m not too sure about the mandatory part.

[Pollard]

Sanders is quite an improvement over Hutchinson

[No name given]

Better skills with firearms than learning about sexual perversion.

[JusPasenThru]

Heck yeah. They teach all that stuff on Call of Duty.

[Sacajaweau]

I’m 80....When we were young...say 12....we went to Grandpa’s farm and learned....How do you think pioneer kids learned??

[Resolute Conservative]

Marek my words the curriculum will include telling kids to go home and call the police and tell them so and so has guns in their house.

[Sacajaweau]

A friend lost a son because of a 22 and a 14 year old boy’s curiosity.
