47. There was a time when I never in a million

years thought I'd say something like this, but that might not be a bad idea. You never know when your kid will come into contact with a gun no matter how much you try to keep guns from them, and it's better that they know basic gun safety and handling measures if and when that happens.

It's the same principle, I suppose, as the rationale for sex education in schools. And parents who really, really, really don't want their kids in such classes would have the option to withdraw their kids from it, just like they do now with sex education in a lot of schools.
