What a shame that was taken from the youth.
And people wonder why the youth in America resorts to things like Columbine and the like... They're not being taught the right way anymore. I didn't learn in school, but my dad and grandpa made sure my brother and I knew how to safely handle a firearm at a young age and the rules and responsibilities that go along with it. I plan on using the same .22 rifle I learned to shoot with my kids!

I would say I didn't learn gun safety in school (learned that earlier from my father & uncle), I learned marksmanship from my high school... qualified for the rifle team... they used German air rifles (forget the model #) and I got very accurate with the coach's instruction... and learned fundamentals that I still use today.

But I agree with the principle: gun safety should be taught from the first introduction to firearms- and the healthy respect for them built... teaching them that they're scary just teaches them that they can scare people with them...

I blame the majority of the baby boomer generation for raising spineless fucks my age.

Dirty hippies.
