A Missouri senator is floating a bill that would mandate that children are shown the NRA's Eddie Eagle program.

 

Not so sure that 1st graders are mature enough to understand it. But a child knowing to leave the gun alone and get an adult, is a great improvement over picking it up and doing what he/she sees on TV.

 

Also included is training for teachers on what to do if a shooting occurs.

Makes sense in my book.

Kindergarteners are taught songs, only to learn much much later that "Ring around the rosie" was about a terrible disease. None of that prevents them from learning the words or the basic meaning of:

 

STOP

DON'T TOUCH

LEAVE THE AREA

TELL AN ADULT

i heard something on 101.5 today about some place proposing a bill that would require 1st graders take an NRA "FIRST" gun safety course.. I cant remember where it was, and i doubt HIGHLY it will pass.. but i'd get behind that as well..

wait, cancel that.. i thought it was in NJ that they were talking about.. i guess it wasnt, so my story is the same as the OP's..

 

nevermind.. carry on.. heh

Maybe if Eddie Eagle was as well known as Smokey the Bear, there'd be less anti-gunners in this country.

I like it, this nation was founded with guns, time to go back to basics and make them part of the way things are and teaching from a young age will only help that and teach proper care, handling and respect for them.

Add mmmm mmmmm mmmm to that and they'll remember.

Too logical. Makes too much sense. It'll never happen.

No emotion involved--so by extension, it must be a bad idea.

Someone's "feelings" might get hurt, or they'll be "offended".

 

And yet, legislators in the SAME STATE, put forth insanity like this. Are people really this dumb? Don't answer that.
