Should all children be given some degree of firearms training?

Asked by majorrich (14741points) January 4th, 2013

It occurs to me that accidental injuries, and the mystique of playing with guns might be reduced if children received some instruction on basic firearms safety, what to do when the find a gun and how to render it safe. To turn firearms in to their teachers, and a demonstration of the destructive power of a firearm would be important lessons. In doing this, children would be less apt to play with a weapon they find in the home and have some respect for what it can do. A touch of actual reality in the face of virtual reality.
