SEC. 8. EDUCATION: NATIONWIDE FIREARMS SAFETY PROGRAMS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) each school district should provide or participate in a firearms safety program for students in grades kindergarten through 12 and should consult with a certified firearms instructor before establishing the curriculum for the program; and
(2) participation by students in a firearms safety program should not be mandatory if the district receives written notice from a parent of the student to exempt the student from the program.

I'd love to see all kids get gun safety training that removes the fear of guns (so that they don't become irrationally afraid like so many adults seem to be) and a better understanding about how guns are legally used.Apparently links to searches on thomas.loc.gov are no longer available after 30 minutes. I'll stop posting them.oldtexan wrote:On Jan 3, Rep Sheila Jackson lee (TX-18) filed H.R. 65, entitled the Child Gun Safety and Gun Access Prevention Act of 2013.

Am I the only one who reads that red part as meaning that "theoretically, if there were a child in my house (even though there isn't), he could access the loaded handgun and shotgun I keep by the bed (if he snuck into my house), and therefore I am in violation of the law? IF there were a child in my house, those two guns would be unsecured and accessible to him.....assuming I did not put them away for his benefit. And so since it is theoretically possible that my guns are accessible to a child (even though there is no child in my house), and since her bill does not state that the child must be in the house for this to apply, then I am theoretically in violation.chasfm11 wrote:http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-con ... se-bill/65
