Finally, an answer. In your mandatory Gun Safety class guns are loaded and unloaded, and fired. Or is your version of the class optional, or the firing the gun part optional?Answer the question. What if we teach Gun Safety but no kid fires a gun, yes or no?Most people use drugs safely, and most use guns safely, but people still get dead from both. If we can teach about drugs without the kids using them then we can teach about guns without the kids firing them, but you wouldn't like that kind of class now would you?A gun is not a drug, strawman.
Also, guns don't kill people. People kill people.
Considering the number of "accidental" shootings when someone is cleaning a gun, or the number of shootings when someone is unloading a gun, there should be hands-on time at the range. Follow the safety rules and no one is hurt.
The class itself is optional. The range time is part of the class.
I shot the target, and it was a lot of fun! Also, I learned the proper way to hold the weapon and to make sure the safety is on when I'm not shooting my weapon, which prevents accidental shootings, amongst other things! I actually learned something, and no one got hurt by the big mean guns!
