My brother came in from shooting one day, his grandchildren were there, the 8 year old granddaughter said, ewww a gun, I hate guns, they will kill me. When he asked where she heard that the answer was school.

Which would you rather have them taught in government schools.

My State Rep was one of the co-sponsors on the bill, I had the opportunity to thank him in person this evening.

I don't doubt that your congressman may have had good intentions, but I'm very hopeful this doesn't catch on. If your brother's granddaughter isn't learning gun safety at home, then it suits me fine that she's simply afraid of guns and leaves them alone. If your brother wants her to not be afraid of guns, then it should be up to him, not the schools, to teach her how to properly handle a gun.

Hope your brother gave that grandchild a quick re-education, with an opportunity to go out to the range and plink a little with a .22 . . .
