What we would like is gun education that encourages good citizenship and good marksmanship. What the "progressives" would try to implement would be gun classes that emulate anti-smoking propaganda.

The LIBERAL education “industry” will refuse to waste time teaching young people “GUN SAFETY”. The subject would take too much time from “driving safety”, “sex safety”, “food safety”, “playground safety”, and other critical lessons in avoiding danger.
There are priorities, ya know.

I have to take exception to a couple of opening statements.

First an 8-year-old in Bremerton was nearly killed when a gun in her classmate's backpack went off. Next, kids in Pierce and Snohomish counties were killed by guns left behind in cars.

These kids were not shot or killed by the guns alone. In both cases the gun owner failed to properly secure his/her weapon.

In Fort Lee, NJ, the Fort Lee High school had an indoor rifle range.

All schools should have one. All communities should have ranges for rifle and pistol, as the rifle and pistol are the basic tools of self defense.

More and more crimes are thwarted by armed citizens without firing a shot than ever. In Spokane, it’s almost a daily event that goes practically unreported in the media. It’s mentioned, but not sensationalized like a shooting-it’s boring news.

It's part of an extraordinary "arming up" of this state that began a few years ago and only seems to be escalating...

Hmmmm - let's see, now. What was it that happened a few years ago? It's on the tip of my tongue. Ideas, anyone?

Dan needs to understand why people are “arming up”.

It’s to defend ourselves from commie bastards such as him.
