I advocate a firearm safety class in schools for the same reason I advocate sex ed in schools: because giving someone as much information as possible is a better solution than never talking about something and hoping it fixes itself.
Maybe I've lived a sheltered life, but I never saw guns as relevant to daily life as driving a car and/or understanding sex (as much as I wish sex itself were part of my daily life). If I had a class on guns in school I wager I still wouldn't have touched a gun since. Maybe everyone else is around guns a lot more than me and the people I know, but guns just don't seem "daily life" enough to me to warrant nation-wide coverage in the classroom.
Also, would it be a national thing? Are we really going to expect teachers to explain and/or hand guns to inner-city students on taxpayer's dime? Ida know about that.
