What children are getting "no instruction" in gun safety?
Teaching children to be responsible with guns is not "dedicated parenting" it's just parenting.
How about virtually every child being raised by a single mother?
Are you deliberately "playing ostritch" on us?
There are hundreds of PC school districts who won't even allow the NRA to visit and present their excellent (and effective) "Eddie Eagle" gun safety program: -- simply because it is presented by the "eeeevil NRA Gun Lobby":
Q: What is the Eddie Eagle Program?A: The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program is a gun accident prevention program for children in pre-kindergarten through third grade. Using instructional materials including workbooks, an animated video, and student reward stickers, the program's safety mascot, Eddie Eagle, teaches children that if they find a gun in an unsupervised situation, they should:
STOP! Don't Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult.
BTW, that last line is the course content. That's it.
BTW, "Eddie Eagle" is not for our own kids -- for whom we rightly assume the responsibility of teaching gun safety. It is for the millions of kids who have liberal parents, who, themselves are fearful and ignorant of firearms and firearm safety ...kids who might just manage to run across an unsecured firearm when they are in your home...
