I agree, guns are powerful tools. Knowledge does help prevent accidents and people acting without thinking while ignorance and fear helps nothing.

(alleged) Idiot! The bullets still have to come down someplace. We really need to allow firearms education in schools.

Seriously though- Should people who cannot figure out how gravity works be allowed to own guns?

I am saying that when you deny people education and then expect them to not act ignorantly, that you have a cognitive disconnect that needs to be resolved. I am saying that when you leave that education up to the media, then see people acting similarly and still don't advocate education to resolve that behavior, then you have cognitive dissonance. If kids learned about sex ONLY from media and porn, then you find a high teenage pregnancy rate BUT you don't allow sex education, contraception or choice, then well duh, how could you expect different? I would not similarly argue that those who do not understand that WORDS HAVE MEANING should be banned from the internet. Only and idiot would do so. The argument is education and lack thereof.

Are you saying that someone who can't figure out on their own that a bullet fired into the air will come back down should still be allowed to own a gun?

If someone needs to be taught that if you have sex, you will eventually have a child, then I don't think they should be allowed to have children. If someone needs to be taught that if you text and drive, you will eventually have an accident, then I don't think they should be allowed to have a car. If someone needs to be taught that if you do drugs, you will eventually be a drug addicted waste, then I don't think they should be allowed to so drugs... Yah ok I tried but it sounds just as ridiculous applied to sex, driver or drug education.

Agreed, and at younger ages. There's no reason a middle school student should have had zero access to gun education.
