South Carolina schools may teach gun safety and training

[ChrisL]

Not according to my State's laws. It was out of sight. Nothing on my car indicated there was a gun in it. The person that broke in wasn't looking for a gun.

The NRA and right-winger stickers were a dead giveaway, pun intended.

I don't know. Maybe when the Brits came over with their guns, the colonists should have just run away!!

Or they could do what they did, hide in the bushes and shoot them.

No, they should be afraid of guns, according to you.

Children should be.

In the old days, it was quite normal for children over the age of 12 to have a gun, mostly boys of course.

Yes, but we don't live in the old days now do we, at least those who have grown up don't.

The point is, that children were apparently not shooting each other or their school mates. These problems we fact today are due to society, and not to a gun.

Why, because you say so?

I would much rather a young person be able to render a found firearm harmless instead of fleeing in terror, leaving it for the next kid to find and play with.

How about run and tell an adult? What a plan eh, and no child gets hurt.

Isn't this high school kids we are talking about? High school kids will be offered these classes, not small children.

No, they are due to both things and one is pretty damn easy to fix, you just won't like it.

Doesn't matter a damn. Not child needs to fire a gun because no child needs to kill anything.

Do accidents happen due to defective manufacture? Yes. Any manufactured item can be defective and it can lead to an accident.
And so what?

So, that's why I'm right and he's wrong. You can do everything right, and still manage to shoot yourself or someone else. That's what happens when guns are around.

No, you can't. I realize you are really, really stupid, so I will try to use small words in the hope that they might sink through that thick skull to your walnut-sized brain: if you do not have a round chambered, the gun CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIRE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Were those words small enough, dimbulb?

There are guns that fire by themselves. You lose.

Explain, in detail, EXACTLY how a gun can fire under any circumstances if it does not have a round in the chamber. Be specific. I will give you one trillion dollars if you can do so.

I can actualy answer that question. A legitimate answer. Post proof of your ability to pay first.

No, you can't. I have the ability to pay every penny I will owe...which is, of course, ZERO.

Seriously, this is where liberalism turns nutty. I would ask my fellow liberals to look at the larger picture.

I concede that such training is possibly (if not likely) to have some bad consequences down the road. The kid who gets picked on in 3rd period by Jeff or Jill, will have access to a firearm in 6th period where Jeff or Jill may be in the same class. I further concede that with our cartoonish society and the volumes of mis-information on the web about the consequences of serious actions are characterized as everything from nominal to downright cool, it's probably not the gold of ideas to bring weapons into the schools with a seal of approval from the administration.

All that is conceded. What wins the day however are the facts that we live in a dangerous society so learning about the weapons that contribute to that danger is identical to girls learning about barrier contraception. Its really a matter of self defense. On the same theme as self defense, purchasing a gun and not knowing the first thing on how to use/maintain it maybe more dangerous in some cases for the owner than an intruder breaking into their residence. So why not? Thirdly, when your choices are other topics such as Clothing and Textiles, Pottery, or Football, there is some currency to learning real-world lessons; harsh though they may be.

I can think of a lot of things that I'd rather have taught in school but this isn't a loser of an idea out of the gate. Execution is, as always, the most important thing.

Guns aren't for defense. If you want to teach self-defense by all means do. Guns are for killing things, period.

That is just as stupid the thirtieth time you regurgitate it as it was the first time you spewed it.

No, it's accurate. Was a gun invented for defense? Nope, it was to kill faster and from farther away. And away we go.

I have, several times now.

No, you haven't...stop listening to those voices in your head!

Is this related to the dummy who thinks that if you follow all the safety rules with guns there will be no accidents, which is utter nonsense? Yeah, I thought so.

Hunting also allows someone to provide steroid and antibiotic free, lean meat for their family, friends and even food banks and other charitable organizations.

Very few people hunt for meat, and no one has to. What a clean hamburger, raises a cow, I'm not going to stop you.

So...are you a strict vegetarian or just a raging hypocrite?

Nope, I get meat from the store like a normal person who doesn't think that killing an animal you aren't going equals a sport.

Hunters that leave the meat in the field are rare. Every hunter I know eats the meat or gives it to someone.

He's full of it. Lol! Most hunters LOVE the meat. That is a big part of the reason why they hunt. Many also donate their kills thought such charities like this.

Hunting for Charity - Food News -

If they are donating the meat away then they didn't need to shoot it in the first place. That's means it was for sport, not survival. The meat would have gone to waste otherwise eh? See how that works now?

So what? Some people like to hunt for sport. Without them, the deer overpopulation would be really bad in a lot of areas.

The deer overpopulation is ALREADY bad in a lot of areas! Offhand, it's bad here.

Who the fuck cares? I don't need to send out armed kids to fix that.

Here's how it would work. After we got the guns, if you happened to be holding one and you weren't in uniform, you're dead, no questions asked.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...we already know you're a psycho. Stop masturbating.

Either up your game, or beat it, pun intended.

I think the younger generations (besides the thugs and dummies) are starting to realize just how toxic the new age liberal ideology is to our freedoms. The trend shows more young people moving towards being libertarians.

Children love to be selfish and Rand says that is moral, which is why she is their little god, even though should couldn't even mange to life her own life the way she said everyone else should.

It's about individual freedom from government interference in our lives. Nothing selfish about that.

It is the way they want it. They want to do whatever the hell they want and that is not a society, that is anarchy.

No, there are a lot of differences between a libertarian and an anarchist. Lol. Maybe YOU need an education?

He is not teachable...he needs a prefrontal.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Who is going to take it from them, YOU?

Society. We have people for that, remember?

You said we have people to handle the populations of wild animals too. Who are these people?

Professional Hunters.

Professional hunters???? LMAO!!!

Lets just say you DO hire professional hunters. And lets say that they manage to average 3 deer per day (since they have less scouting time). And lets say they hunt 350 days out of the year (that would only allow 15 days for holidays and bad weather).

Do you think you can find 476 professional hunters willing to hunt in Alabama full time?

With the snap of my fingers. Not very good at math are you? That would be a dream job for your kind.

You are a well and truly SPECIAL kind of stupid...

 

[Jarlaxle]

Children should be.

Only the stupid think that.

If all safety rules are followed, there will be no accidental shootings. It really is that simple.
