Sounds like they want to teach actual firearm safety. Every high school in America should offer a class like this. Maybe there would be less kids dying because of their negligent parents.

    As one who would favor military and military-like weapons not being widely available (but conversely has a significant interest in how firearms work), I still agree with you.

    My ideals, like anarchism are more of a “North Star” (no global anarchic society is likely in my lifetime and ideology should always take backseat to helping people, so doing one’s best to in non-ideal circumstances to enable positive change and mitigate harm is mandatory). That is to say, while I don’t think military and military-like arms should even exist, that is a pipedream and the reality is that they do exist. So, education on safe handling and the associated risks that they have is important to reduce unintentional harm and give people a better chance against this inflicting intentional harm.
