South Carolina schools may teach gun safety and training

[WinterBorn]

Exactly what is the downside of teaching this class? It is an elective and only 1 semester. There are obvious advantages, from a safety standpoint. If funding were not the issue, and I see no reason it would be difficult to get NRA or other qualified instructors.

But what are reasons anyone would have for not wanting this class?

Texas firearms instructor accidentally shoots himself while teaching family how to clean and shoot pistol - Salon.com

And the Agenda of the NRA does not a class make.

Agenda? So teaching gun safety is now an agenda? lol

 

[WinterBorn]

That's why northerners are moving here, because liberals done fucked it all up up north.

Just because you think who a man who bathes often and isn't called Bubba is a Liberal doesn't make it so. To you a liberal is someone who didn't marry a relative, doesn't drive an old Ford, and has more teeth than dogs and children.

No, I think a liberals is an ignorant asshole. Who thinks he knows it all, but in reality doesn't know shit.
You think teaching the arts are more important than reading.
You think teaching two men taking it up the ass is normal. Rather than teaching math.
You think telling kids if you become successful, you didn't do it on your own. Instead of teaching history.
Then you, after 13 years of indoctrinating our kids. You want me to pay for 2 years of community college, but you think spending maybe a week teaching a kid about gun safety is bad.
You call us inbreded? Lol

Try keeping what different people say straight, dummy. And my gun safety class can be done in 50 minutes, it starts with this:

That you can teach.

Lol tough guy? You're a liberal, which means you're a pussy. I bet you would shit yourself if you had to shoot a gun. I'll give you a word of advice, start with a cap gun. There not as loud.

I own guns, dummy. I use them for the only thing they were designed for, killing living creatures, but unlike you I don't treat them as toys or take one to the mall hoping to play John Wayne.

I own several guns too. And yes, I use them to kill various animals, both hunting and vermin control. But I also use them for fun at the shooting range. Nothing dies.

I think it's a great idea. Ignorance is probably the main reason why accidents happen to begin with! Since when is teaching your children safety a bad idea?

Isn't the whole point of gun safety to prevent this?

Gun Safety for kids does not involve using one. They are for killing things and no child need do that, not in this day and age.

Ironic because this is the same tacit that crazy the anti-sex-ed Christians use.

Safe sex is no sex.

I was taught how to use a gun when I was 11. I don't currently own of a gun, but if I had to use one I'm glad that I know how.

Safe Sex for kids is no sex, after they are old enough to reproduce and pass STDs around that is. And the consequences of that are much less than a kid who thinks he knows how to use a gun instead of staying the fuck away from them.

Playboy doesn't teach The History of Feminism. The KKK doesn't teach Understanding Racism. The Catholic Church doesn't teach Comparative Religion, and the NRA shouldn't be teaching Gun Safety, they aren't qualified.

Things die at the ranges every year, like when some numskull gun-nut lets his kid shoot off an Uzi.

They aren't teaching Safety, they are teaching the Agenda of the NRA. This isn't Comp101, not even close.

Nothing wrong with an old Ford...

Neither can corner for shit, or stay out of the repair shop for long.

If you think a Bronco was built for cornering, you are a truly SPECIAL kind of stupid. I have owned two Ford trucks...both reliable. My 92 was sold with 366,000 miles and it still running. Also had a 1979...aside from wheels (I ran Armstrongs) and color (mine was red), looked a lot like this one. Loved it...but it was way too nice to be a work truck.

There is nobody more qualified to teach gun safety to teenagers. This is not about teaching small children gun safety. These would, undoubtedly be high school students.

Abstinence only sex ed has worked so well, hasn't it?? Like the "Just Say No" crap did.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

The entire point of gun safety is to teach teenagers how to follow the simple gun safety rules that would prevent almost all accidental shootings.

Not when it's taught by the NRA it isn't, and the way to protect teens from accidental shootings is to keep them far away from guns, period. Of all the things teenagers shouldn't be around, that tops the list.

So you already know the curriculum, despite the fact that the class doesn't exist yet? That is pretty amazing.

The NRA has taught more firearm safety classes than anyone but the federal gov't. They helped design, or had a strong influence on, almost every gun safety class.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Not really...mostly a Mopar fan, currently own a Dodge truck and a Cadillac. But yeah, Ford makes damn good trucks. (And the Panther cars are superb.)

It is about gun safety and educating about a right. What's the problem?

 

[rightwinger]

Actually, the real pussies are those too frightened to go out without a gun

I don't always carry, just when I go to the liberal side of town. You know the slums.

So, now the big tough guy is afraid of liberals

Must be tough to go through life in fear

Haven't met one on here i'm afraid of, but say if I'm in a great liberal town like Detroit. You may want to carry, but where I live no need to carry.

You must be pretty skeered if you need a gun gun to go out in public

Most of us chickenshit liberals can go through life without it

Yeah you probably can, but if you ever are at the wrong place at the wrong time. A conservative might save your worthless ass. Just saying.

And he may just shoot himself in the foot or kill an innocent person

Absolute bullshit. The NRA gun safety classes would help reduce or eliminate the accidental shooting deaths and injuries. You think a teenager will behave like an angel until the NRA teaches him gun safety, then he becomes a mass murderer? Totally ridiculous.

Just Say No to guns is exactly right in this case. And teenagers will always have sex, it would just be best for us if they didn't. Stop confusing what is from what's best. No sex, no drugs, no guns, no driving and what do you know, we have a living adult instead of a dead teenager.

So all the teens who died because they were ignorant of basic gun safety rules is ok? Just more "Ban the guns" fodder?

Your fear of teaching teenagers is noted.

Look up the figures on pregnancy rates in areas that teach Abstinence Only versus a complete sex ed. The numbers don't lie. lol

You don't let an organization founded to protect gun rights teach gun safety. They have an Agenda, a huge one. And what I think you have no clue about so stop guessing and start asking.

So to try to validate your argument against guns, you're throwing no driving or sex in there too? I started shooting a rifle and shotgun when I was 5. Still living and haven't shot anyone.

The gun safety course would probably work much like the hunter safety courses. I made sure my kids took both the NRA gun safety class and the hunter safety class (for the three that chose to hunt).
