South Carolina schools may teach gun safety and training

[Little-Acorn]

No problem, but that's not exactly the agenda of the NRA now is it.

So just what is the agenda of the NRA, pray tell?

Please don't feed the trolls.

Back to the subject:
Teaching gun safety and training in school is an obviously good thing to do. (Obvious to all except the leftists who want to keep people ignorant, defenseless and terrified.) It is decision that should be made (and paid for) at the local level, possibly as high as at a state-govt level.

Nothing could be clearer from our last dozen or more years of experience as a nation, than the fact that government (state and local police) is inadequate to keep individual citizens safe. Criminals always find ways to evade the police and zero in on the citizen. And if he knows the citizens are unarmed, there is nothing left to stop him from assaulting, robbing, or raping. The citizen is the only one who is there at the scene of the crime every time. The citizen is the last (often the only) line of defense against the common criminal. Disarming him makes no sense.

And society benefits directly from making sure the citizen is familiar with the weapon he needs, trained in its safe and effective use, and unafraid to use it when needed. Gun safety and training in school is every bit as important as training in readin', writin', and 'rithmetic. And there is no batter way to make sure the citizen is able to deal with the crime that will come his way... and to make sure the criminal knows the citizen is ready.

The 2nd amendment includes a justification for why it's part of the Law of the Land. It points out that an armed and capable populace (that's what a militia is) is necessary for security and freedom. Can anybody name a better way of making sure the populace is armed and capable, than gun safety and training in local schools?

No Planned Parenthood but the NRA is just fine in schools? Got it. Gun nuts, fucking nuts since guns have but one purpose, killing. Next up, Understanding Racism, by the KKK.

So is a bow and arrows but they are taught in schools.

Why is it they can teach archery but not guns?
They both kill and both are used for sports competitions.
If archery safety can be taught, gun safety should also be taught.

I have no problem with gun safety being taught on schools.

No rational person would.

Gun Safety, as in don't touch if you find one, don't play with one, never aim one at something you aren't planning to kill? No problem, but that's not exactly the agenda of the NRA now is it.

So just what is the agenda of the NRA, pray tell?

Keeping guns, all guns, legal, for as many Americans as possible.

Guns make a loud, scary BANG.

That makes them ideal subjects for the leftists' fear campaign, that would never take hold against bows and arrows.

Why else do you think the leftists made such draconian laws and restrictions against silencers, which never hurt anybody?

Teach Eugenics at home

It's wonderful that the schools in South Carolina have the time and the money to deepen the gun culture! Their arts and extra-curricular activities must be the envy of the nation! With all that spare time to teach kids to love guns, their love of the arts must know no bounds!

Teach Eugenics at home

to teach kids to love guns,

As usual, when the leftist fanatics are confronted with facts they can't refute, they lapse into hysterical ranting.

Again.

There is nothing hysterical nor rant worthy in my post. I'm just so happy that South Carolina schools have both the time and the money to teach a deepened love of guns, in addition to a fully funded arts and extra curricular activities program.

those programs are fully funded, right?

You still haven't answered my question on whether sex education should be taught in schools. Why do you keep ignoring it?

What a shithead you are.
No one ever died because they werent familiar with art or music. But plenty of kids have died because they misused guns out of ignorance.
In the old days many schools maintained a range and a rifle team. And guess what, no one went rampaging through a school shooting people.

The educational priorities are upside down if gun education trumps arts education.

Educators agree with gusto that arts education is necessary for the intellectual well being of students in every grade. Arts education helps deal with leadership skills, conflict resolution and upward social mobility. In other words, arts education accomplishes much of what we expect from general education.

Inculcating students in the gun culture is all well and good so long as actual education isn't the sacrificial lamb in the bargain.

Are you an idiot? You could teach gun safety thoroughly in one week. You could teach it in gym class. In my school days you had to have at least one year of gym to graduate. Problem solved.

Arts breeds queers. Especially liberal arts.
