Its called "Zero Tolerance".A better term is "Don't expect a Education Here"
My wife is on our local school board and has been trying to get a rifle or pistol team and or training classes for several years now. Hell, I told them that I would volunteer to teach the classes if needed. I was a competitive shooter and instructor for years. They keep tuning her down. She might get an archery club though. The damn liberals don't want any mention of guns anywhere near school or kids even though we are in a tiny rural town where almost everyone hunts.
So I got to thinking the other day on my drive to work. We had the DARE program, we teach kids about strangers and we give health education to young adults, why not teach you kids about firearm safety. The hunter education programs offered by states do a terrific job at doing this when people are going through the program. I would almost think that it is a no brainer. Kids well what do we know, they are naturally inquisitive, will mess around with stuff they shouldn't and are generally drawn to things we say no about. Ok so on a national level lets not make firearm safety taboo, it needs to be more accessible to everyone. I'm not saying we need to start parenting other peoples kids, I'm just saying that if its for public safety the option should be there. Some kids don't have a clue, because they have never been around a firearm. They watch TV, play video games and have very little understanding of the finality that comes at the end of a mistake with a gun. I think for young kids we should teach them to stop, don't touch it and go tell a parent. For older kids if car accident and child birth video are ok why not show similar videos as hunter's education with some firearm safety training. I would think that a LEO would rather talk to a couple groups of students than have to tell a parent their kid shot themselves. Do I think it would correct all of the issues, NO, but DARE hasn't stopped drug use, health class hasn't stopped teen pregnancy and kids are still being kidnapped. The numbers have decreased over the years. In my book one life is worth it. As far as the mass shootings and such. Well, that has to be addressed in a different manner and there are no right answers with that. Heck we proved it doesn't even require a gun to hurt others. A kid can do as much damage with a vehicle, knives or explosives.
