When I turned 12, my dad took me to a hunter safety course. I didn't really think I was all that interested in hunting but he was, so we went.
We went hunting a few times. I usually ended up falling asleep on a log or something, so he just went without me.
I've never owned a gun while living in my own, but I know how to safely use one if I have to.
I really don't know why it isn't mandatory.
Evvert must be welled known because this guy with gun did just as he was told with no arguments.
Which is impressive since HE was the one packing heat!
Think you're mistaken. Everett True hands have been labeled deadly weapons. Hence why the man handed over his fire arm and did as he was told.
I really don't know why it isn't mandatory.
Yeah you do: corruption and demagoguery.
But, my freedumbs!
I agree, but I do know why it isn't mandatory in the US: It would be against the constitution because it would restrict the right to bare arms and would disproportionately impact second amendment rights of lower income Americans.
No, it wouldn’t.
Having to take a class sometime during school does not disproportionately affect anyone.
You don’t have to tie it to gun OWNERSHIP just to everyone in general, like health class
This wouldn't be included in school and you know it. People would have to pay for it. Take time off of work for it.
I’m 100% for it being taught in school.
What classes are the government both forcing you to take and to pay for?
Nothing now, but you're the one talking about making something mandatory, which would be the government forcing us to do it. And again, it would not be covered in schools, certainly not all schools. People would have to pay for it themselves.
Why wouldn’t it?
We take mandatory classes already.
And anything deemed remotely non-essential is constantly at risk of being cut. I don't know how old you are, but I'm old enough to know that classes which were required for me (woodshop, home ec, typing, music) are largely no longer required, or even available, in most places.
Every single one of those is available here, just with different names now.
My kids even have to take and pass the us citizenship test to pass high school, which I think is just awesome.
Most of the people I know, myself included probably, couldn’t do that and we have voting abilities
Well, kids in your school district are lucky.
