At least 157 people were killed and 270 were injured last year in unintentional shootings by children, according to Everytown, an advocacy group for firearm safety.

    This is why you should teach gun safety to kids in schools.

    They do. Or at least they did in my daughter’s public elementary school. They get the teaching materials straight from the NRA too.

    They have this whole ‘Eddie the Eagle’ thing about gun safety. And if the NRA wasn’t a thoroughly evil organization, that would be commendable.

      The NRA isn’t a thoroughly evil organization. The NRA does lots of good things with education and training (albeit in a fudd-y way). What you’re thinking about it the NRA-ILA, the lobbying/legislative wing. Those are the people that are generally scum.
