When I was younger, there was more teaching kids to hunt and use guns. They were tools for a certain job. Granted that was hunting, we were also KIDS... Older kids learned different skills. My junior year of high school we still had a few holdouts with long guns in pickup trucks... One guy even kept his through senior year, but it was behind his truck seat...
Train the young to respect the tool and there id less chance for trouble. Less focus on dang "feelings" would help today a great deal.
If you don't like guns, that's fine. But a shop class that teaches how to break down and clean a gun, some off campus range time and learning how to handle a few weapons would do wonders plus could help count as credits for ROTC classes... (Which had us in uniform s couple times a week without a weapon of course...)
