My only point is that as a society we decided a long time ago to at least make an attempt at educating our young people.... Grades K-12.... I suspect it has evolved into a good bit of baby sitting as well as an attempt to educate.....(I'll leave my opinion of higher education out of this) but still I recognized as a whole it is a good thing... even with its failures ..... to some degree I am an example of that. I really wish I had paid better attention my first 13 years...(there was no 'K' for me). I finally started actually trying to learn my 2nd year of college and then gave up after 6. My only point here again is I think firearms training, safety and operation, should be mandatory education for everyone. Once again, I'm not talking about to be able to own or carry a gun... but to be a productive part of society... no different than being able to read, write or add, subtract and multiply.
