    Firearms education is only necessary when there are guns all over the place. The people you’re complaining about don’t want guns around to begin with. Not to mention the inherent propaganda that is 100% built into any children’s content produced by Republicans and the NRA. If the goal of Democrats is to increase gun control and reduce the amount of guns among the general populace, it doesn’t really make sense for them to want NRA propaganda in schools. That said, I do agree that while there are all these guns around, parents should generally do a better job to make sure their children get this information, whether their family owns a gun or not.

      True but that condition is absolutely positively 100% not going away at any time in the next 50 years. The 2A could be repleaded and private firearm ownership made federally illegal tomorrow and there would still be firearms in closets, dresser drawers, and attics in 2074.

      That’s completely fair but nothing is being created to replace it. If they don’t want the NRA involved that’s cool and I completely get it…but that doesn’t clear them to do nothing while blocking what already exists.

      It’s frustrating as all get out.
