102. Fine, so think of something that will
If you don't like my ideas, fine, come up with better ones. You're the gun proponent, it's up to you to find ways to make their use safe. Me? I'd be only too happy to solve the problem, if you like - I'd ban every gun in existence and that would take care of that. But you want to keep your murderous toys, so the burden is on you to come up with a way to keep them from falling into the wrong hands and from being misused. Because, if you don't have a solution, I do.

I see no reason why I should have to waste my time in school taking classes on how to safely use an item I neither need, nor want, nor am legally obliged to use. If I wish to become a welder, is it appropriate that I should force every school child in the US to study welding? Again, you're the one who wants guns; the rest of us on the planet can and do live without them just fine. So if your best solution is to compel everyone to take gun safety classes so that you can enjoy your dangerous personal hobby, I prefer my solution. And, btw, that would be "curricula," not "cirriculums."
