Someone that is "shocked" and "frightened" over seeing an inanimate object is crazy! I wonder how they feel about 5 gallon buckets, and hammers?

Oh boy, the "guns kill" BS again

yes, and by extension, teach your kids that the Police are killers. This absolute knee-jerk, self-assured know-it-all nonsense makes my blood boil

I get your point, but I think she said "shocked and devastated".

Even more ridiculous, IMO.

devastate |ˈdevəˌstāt|
verb [ trans. ]
destroy or ruin (something) : the city was devastated by a huge earthquake | bad weather has devastated the tourist industry. See note at ravage .
cause (someone) severe and overwhelming shock or grief : she was devastated by the loss of Damian.
Wow, really?

This Woman, Mother, and Grandmother is simply responding to her fears and indoctrination's handed down to her. There will never be firearms education in our schools. The schools are run by the CIA and they are intent on dumbing down our children, not teaching them about firearms and critical thinking! It was the CIA that got our Nation on powdered drugs for cryin out loud. If we want our children to be competent with firearms then we have to teach them ourselves. Or take our country back lol.

That they will mandate Sex Ed and Drug Ed, but not Gun Ed stinks of subversiveness.

The hypocrisy of what passes for the liberal/progressive thought is on display here. They constantly claim that education is the solution, but in the case of individual freedom nooooooooooooooooo. Here they do not want true education they want indoctrination and fear.

If I had children I don't think I would like the police to give them unsolicited gun safety lessons; only because that's something I'd rather do myself when I felt it was appropriate.

But I wouldn't throw a hissy-fit over it either.

I should follow your lead and stop trying to understand them. The last time i tried to understand comments like in this article I felt a pop in my head, peed my pants and forgot who i was for an hour.
I laughed, I cried, I spit Coke on my monitor.

How do you deal with the problem of teenage pregnancy? Education.
What should society do to prevent AIDS? Education.
How can we prevent accidental firearms deaths? Abstinence.

Apparently some folks believe that education only works for really complicated problems, not simple things like firearm safety.
