It will be interesting to see the impact of this. I would hope accidental shootings will drop.

Several states now require public schools to teach kids about gun safety

A class of 16 fifth graders in Memphis, Tennessee, were asked how many had seen a real gun. Nearly all raised their hands.

I don’t want liberal teachers, who know nothing about guns, teaching my kids about guns.
