since kids aren't usually allowed to train with guns... were they all training with their parents before? or is it not that hard, so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?...

since kids aren’t usually allowed to train with guns

What?

I went to a rural school, and everyone had a “hunters education” class in like 7th grade. We never touched a gun but we could legally go hunting.

A shit ton of kids hunt, and most ranges are fine with kids if an adult is with them too.

Like, it varies state to state, but in lots of areas it’s weird for someone to graduate highschool before shooting a gun.

But besides all that, guns aren’t difficult.

so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?

So yeah, pretty much.

That’s crazy. I had no idea anyone had a class like that. We’re basically training kids to be school shooters… at school?

Hunter’s ed is basically the opposite of what you stated. It’s not part of the state curriculum. It’s similar to drivers ed courses for people to be able to get a learners permit before they turn 18. Similarly below a certain ages, most states require completion of a hunter’s education course to be able to purchase a hunting license and legally hunt.

The courses go over topics like property rights, how to carry a weapon making sure it’s not pointing at anyone, what high vis clothing is required, always knowing what is behind an animal before even aiming, rules about how a weapon must be unloaded when in a vehicle, and they strongly urge keeping an interference lock in the action of any firearm in storage.

Hunter’s ed doesn’t teach kids how to shoot, they teach kids how to not be idiots when hunting.

The person I replied to specifically said it was part of the 7th grade curriculum.

A large amount of Americans that grew up with firearms in the home learned to shoot at the ages of 5 to 7. I never wanted to play with guns because I knew what they were and how they worked my entire life. Most of that training will simply be that if you find a firearm unattended, you are supposed to find an adult to attend that firearm. Explaining the dangers of firearms and that anything pointed at by a firearm will be destroyed. The main purpose of all of this is because children educated purely through media have many false ideas about firearms and weapons and damage that they can cause.

First day teaching my little kids I took an empty beer can and holed it with a .22. Tiny hole on one side, tiny hole on the other, no surprise.

Then I pointed out that humans are mostly bags of water. Filled the same sized can full of water, shot it with the same gun, same round. They shit kittens.
