Bill Lee’s desk after a final Senate vote Thursday.Members of the Tennessee Senate passed House Bill 2882 in a party-line vote of 24 to 3 on Thursday morning. It passed the House of Representatives in February.If signed, school children would be taught “age-appropriate and grade-appropriate” concepts about guns beginning in the 2025-26 school year. Proponents of the safety concepts training have likened it to mandatory school fire drills.“This curriculum would be developed to instruct children on how to properly stay away from a firearm if they happen to see a firearm, and what to do as far as reporting if they find a firearm,” said Sen. Paul Bailey, R-Sparta.Republicans voted down an amendment Thursday that would have allowed parents to opt their children out of the instruction.*snip*

It's gun safety training, not gun training.
that young has zero impulse control and are overly emotional!
Sounds like all the members of the dump
Most DU-folk are waddlers rather than toddlers.

It takes a DUmmie to be outraged at, "teaching children age-appropriate firearms safety concepts as early as pre-kindergarten". Do they really want/need children accidentally shooting themselves or others?It says something about DU-Denizens that it took 10 Replies before someone posted some degree of sense:Then there's kimbutgar:There are tens of millions of US households that both have young children and guns. Why haven't there been millions or 10s of millions of kids accidentally shooting themselves or family members or acquaintances? If young children really "have zero impulse control" and are too "overly emotional" to be taught, why are children taught "Stranger Danger" to prevent sexual abuse and kidnapping?
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
