    Yeah this is the way. Knowledge and a healthy respect for the damage a gun can cause is a good thing to teach them. Don’t hide it. I’m pretty far left in my politics; but I do think its a good think we have the second amendment for exactly this reason.

      Agreed. Honestly I think basic firearm safety and respect should be part of elementary school curriculum. Like second grade health class.

      Bring in an actual firearm safety trainer. Use the SROs gun and have him audit supervise. Has to be the SROs gun though, because if there’s a black kid in the class, he might react instinctually when they pass around a disassembled gun.
