1 in 3 homes has a gun in it. Wild guess: more homes have guns than have sewing machines. Yet sewing is commonly taught in home economics. When's the last time the Battle of Hastings was relevant in your life? Never? What percent of people use algebra? How many people have their own pottery wheel? What sense does it make to teach them pottery in an art class?
But, 1 in 3 homes has a gun. Mandatory gun safety would likely reduce the number of accidental fire arms deaths. Making hunter safety courses mandatory resulted in a decrease in accidental deaths while hunting. It didn't eliminate them, but the rate is much lower. Apparently, MUSE, you *want* accidental shootings in homes, because such statistics help further your agenda. That's pretty sick.
Just think how many lives would have been saved over the years if kids were aware that when the magazine was removed, there was often still a round in the chamber. What if they learned "never aim a gun at anything you don't intend to destroy. Always treat every gun as if it's loaded." I have two boys - they both learned to shoot at a very young age. A couple weeks ago, we went deer hunting together. In 20 years of them handling guns - in the house while cleaning, moving them around, getting them ready for hunting; and in the woods - NOT ONCE has the barrel of one of those guns been pointing at me, regardless of the gun even being disassembled for cleaning.
