Should gun safety be taught in schools?

I say yes because guns are fascinating and almost any kid likes guns.

That's literally the dumbest reason put forward.

or you could not let everyone have guns!

I'm not sure if you're being serious.

If people don't have guns just cause everyone else has guns, then you don't have to teach everyone how to not shoot eachother when they were only pretending or whatever

no guns

Well, yes, but also no. It doesn't NEED to be taught. Gun safety is only common sense - don't point at anything you don't want to destroy, don't keep them loaded, put the safety on. Those you don't need being taught. because if you are normal you can think of it on your own, so the only people needing classes for it are special needs.

Makes more sense to teach how guns WORK. That would actually improve safety more, because then you'd know the activation points of bullets and how to know if it's ring or center so you don't accidently fire an unloaded bullet into someones heart.

Surprisingly, no it isn't.

no guns

Dumb.

In countries/states where the gun laws are lax, it is pretty much of a good idea to teach children about gun safety as they are pretty common -like crossing the road or riding a bike- but in countries where guns are strictly controlled it is simply irrelevant.

[Nymethus]

Dumb.

Air blanks. Blanks that shoot airsoft rounds. Only useable in special air guns and can't be lethal. And this should only be taught to those BUYING the guns. I don't want someone stealing an air pistol and shooting me in math class.

Reasons that are immediately obvious to anyone that hasn't suffered cerebral damage.

That's not what we're suggesting, we're suggesting teaching firearm SAFETY in an effort to help prevent firearm-related accidents. Goddamn, just read some of the thread before making a post.
