Gun safety should be taught in school. Just like driver's ed. Why do we give no attention to these weapons which are real, commonly available and impossible to eliminate from our world? Showing teenagers 3 months of ballistic videos of various projectiles going through gelatin will give them a better appreciation for reality, rather than relying on games like call of duty to 'mis-educate' them. What can possibly be learned by an 18 year old in a single hour safety course prior to getting an FID ?
And knowing when a gun is being handled safely will prevent many of the accidents that occur when the naive start handling a gun like they've seen done on television and film.
