Even if you don't like guns and don't want to own one, you should know how they work and how they are used properly.

Kids used to be taught gun safety in public school. Public schools used to have indoor ranges (I've seen one with my own eyes).

When someone learns gun safety, they are less likely to accidentally shoot themselves or someone else if they come across one.

The problem is that this normalizes the behavior, something that a specific political sect (coincidentally overlapping heavily with those employed in education) desperately wants to avoid.
