I think that would be a good idea too! (Although to make it a fair comparison, it would be optional. The gun safety class will be offered as an elective.)

QuoteOn the other hand, I think that a requirement of taking kids to the range for live ammo shooting is not at all the right thing to do. To require it would probably be akin to taking kids on a mandatory tour of the local Planned Parenthood facility for close-up demonstrations of birth control and information about abortions.
I disagree.
Letting kids shoot in a controled environment will take some of the "majic" out of a gun.
When I was in the 6th grade we went to a palce called "Natures Classroom" we learned some survival skills how to make a fire in the woods safely, shoot BB guns and use a bow and arrow. This was a public school program.
I think it is a great idea. I think a gun saftey program is a GREAT idea.

Since we're going off the deep end, why not bring some exhibitionists and an inflatable bed and show them how procreation is done in the first place?

From personal experience, I can guarantee that teenagers will figure out that part out all on their own.

QuoteThe Legislature has voted to allow public schools to offer an elective gun safety course that would have to include instruction on how firearms help protect peace and freedom.
The House approved the bill (SB12761), 40-15, on Monday. The Senate approved it unanimously on Feb. 17 and it now goes to Gov. Janet Napolitano.
State law already allows the state Game and Fish Department to provide training in safe handling of guns and bows at schools requesting the training.
However, the bill would allow school districts and charter schools to offer a one-semester course in firearms marksmanship.
Under the bill, the course would have to include instruction on gun safety, the basic operation of firearms, the history of firearms and marksmanship, "the role of firearms in preserving peace and freedom" and the "constitutional roots of the right to keep and bear arms."
Also, students would have to practice shooting at an established range, be instructed on the use of clay targets and demonstrate competence with a .22-caliber rifle.
Rep. Tom Prezelski, D-Tucson, called some of the provisions attempts to politically indoctrinate students.
"I hope we have an opportunity do something that's strictly about gun safety and marksmanship," Prezleski said.

But Bill, you can't let the naturals outpace the slower kids. Afterall, it's not fair to them or their future partners. No Child Left Behind!!

I agree.
A class that teaches firearm safety will do more for firearms safety and teaching proper handling of a firearm then banning every weapon and knife out of the country (since there will still be weapons around if they were banned).
I've taught a good handful of people how to shoot over the past few years, and every time although the person at first didn't really respect the weapon they did after firing a couple of rounds. They understood what was going on and what sort of power a firearm has. Seeing a hole in a target downrange 20ft just a split second after pulling past the break in the trigger and having the recoil hit their hands and arms with the noise and the smell all drove the point home.
