A elective , non-political , free or low cost class on :
Safe firearm handling...
How firearms work...
Basic firearms identification...
Basic ballistics...
Might be of help in preventing "accidents"...I say might , because what we learn is only useful if we apply our knowledge to the situation at hand.
I work with kids ...and many today have a worrisome disconnect to just how the real world operates.
What the cause of this is , be it :
Poor parenting...
Too much time on the TV , phone , movies , video games etc...
A lack of teaching...
Are all good points to consider and places to start a fix.
"Safe Storage Laws" , are one of those ideas that look good on paper , but not so good in practice.
Just what safe storage of my firearms looks like in my house and works in my house , may be vastly different , then in the house of someone else.
And again...why should those of us , who had nothing to do with what happened , be made to change or accept / forced to deal with the consequences of the actions of another...?
