Virginia school kids to learn about gun safety--opponents of gun safety object
Examiner ^ | April 25, 2010 | Kurt Hofmann

Virginia has recently passed a law requiring the state Board of Education to draw up a curriculum for gun safety education for elementary schools.

Governor Bob McDonnnell vetoed one portion of the bill (the Virginia state constitution allows for partial vetoes) that would have permitted the Board to use material not only from the NRA's Eddie Eagle program but also from the National Crime Prevention Council (McGruff the Crime Dog's organization). Some find this objectionable.

Opponents of gun safety education would prefer to indulge their irrational fears than to allow children to be provided with the knowledge to keep them safe. "Anti-gun" does not describe such people as well as "anti-safety" does.

However, sex, drug, alcohol and cigarette safety is jes fine. Their logic intersects itself in a hypocritical nova.

Outstanding! I just hope that the taxpaying, law-abiding citizens don't let the lefties hijack the curriculum.

Best line ever from “Gun Safety video” on Family Guy...

I am sure they do. Why else would they oppose gun safety? :)

"Gun safety opponents want to see children die."

Of course they do -- then they can rant and dance around, condemning folks who adhere to the Constitution.
