When do accidents happen with guns and kids? That is the not the time to teach the kid about gun safety, do it before hand and you stand a chance of a kid not touching the gun!?
On average it doesn't. But on net, it does. Like it or not, but the more households there are with guns, the more accidents there will be because of them.
Did you miss the part of the article that said that these kinds of classes actually make the problem worse?
This is a great point. If a father took his 6 year old out and gave him a chain saw, you would probably be correct to conclude that's not a very smart father. But when he takes the same kid out target shooting, it's considered good family fun.
Everyone I grew up with had weapons in their home (we all hunted) not 1, i repeat not 1 accident - ever. Take a guess as to why? We were educated (at a young age) on the fact you don't play with guns. I know that doesn't sink into your thought process.
Which brings us back to the NRA. If they were about education and safety, they would support these measures. But they don't. Quite the opposite. The NRA opposes practically all regulations including age restrictions and requiring gun safety courses.
Oh yes, a father should not be teaching a kindergartner how to use a chain saw IMO. Did you really want to defend that?
You sure grew up in a different place than me then. I grew up in rural Iowa. Practically all my friends dads had guns. My family had guns. But I sure don't remember much respect for them. Kids were constantly playing with guns, pointing them at each other, trying to blast squirrels out of trees, shooting hogs.
Then maybe you grew up too close to Palo or power lines, I grew up in rural Iowa as well - hunted from age 12 to current, not 1 accident or "hey watch this" moment.
Did you notice how easily they stated the fire safety rule? Did you note how long it took them to get to the gun rule? That cartoon perfectly illustrates the problem. No one will talk plainly about this because they all are protecting other agendas.
WTF are you talking about? The whole video was geared towards young children about staying away from guns, catchy jingle and all. Did you even watch it all?
I did, did you? It took 5 seconds to say never play with fire. It took over 2 minutes to muddle the message about guns. Why? Because God forbid the NRA simply say never play with guns.
JFC 99% of the video was telling the kids to NEVER PLAY WITH GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope, most of the video was spent not delivering that message. In fact they went out of their way to never say what you just did. They could have, but they wanted to spin it. I don't think you watched the video.
When you don't have the facts,
