I'm not particularly anti-gun, but I am strongly anti-abstinence-only when it comes to sex ed. Since a lot of people who are pro-gun are also pro-abstinence-only, it got me thinking.
What if they taught firearm safety classes the way abstinence-only sex ed classes work? You know ...
nobody showing you how to hold the thing right
nobody telling you there's a safety, or how it works
no instruction on the most effective places to aim
and no practice ... absolutely none, that's for sure
I mean, if it's a good way to teach one thing, why not teach everything that way?
Medical schools could teach doctors not to diagnose or treat patients...
Pilot schools could teach people how to keep planes on the ground...
Law schools could teach people how not to sue each other...
Okay, maybe the third of those would actually be worthwhile. And here's another:
Seminaries could teach people how not to preach.
Yeah, I definitely think that one sounds promising.
