55. Firearm safety was a required class in the 8th grade here/then.

I thought, and still think it is a great idea. There are ~250,000,000 firearms in this country, the chances of going through your whole life without ever seeing one is next to zero, so maybe it is a good thing to understand how to handle them safely and realize that they are not inherently evil.

No gun has ever jumped up off the table, loaded itself and killed someone, so why the irrational fear of an inanimate object?
