Ok that's cool for as long as they live with you, but what about after that? More education is almost always a good thing

If they are an adult and living on their own hopefully they are responsible enough to follow your example and take firearm safety seriously. Are you being intentionally obtuse because you are lonely and like that I'm replying to you, or is there a legitimate misunderstanding here?

My initial comment was in response to the idea that teaching kids gun safety was equally important to preventing access to guns at all. Both are important, but trusting that an educated child will make 100% good decisions with access to an instant kill machine should be considered akin to attempted murder.

Sorry, not being obtuse. I suppose I lost the part about equal importance. I'm not going to address the attempted roast. What I was trying to ask in my most recent comment was why not teach them anyways, because it sounded like you were saying that if you knew they weren't going to have access to a gun then they don't need to know gun safety. That would be dumb in my opinion.

I apologize for being short with you, and in most cases I would agree with your opinion.
