I taught my kids about gun safety. I also taught them for their own safety :buttswatting:, they better not mess with my guns.

Nowadays kids also need to be taught not to relentlessly tease other kids. Everytime this happens you later read that the victim had bullied or teased the shooter. Not that the shooter has any right, no matter what, to shoot but it does happen.

The shooter may be a psycho but I'd rather my kid not be the dead one.

Parents are afraid to parent. Correction is part of parenting. Some kids need a good butt whooping. It is the only way to get their attention. Dr. Spock was one of the worst things to happen to parents.Right. Wrong. Personal responsibility and personal accountability. If parents don't do it, it won't get done. The schools can't; they are afraid of getting sued. And parents are afraid of Social Services. And Social Services and other do gooders wonder why kids are running amok.

I agree with you completely.

What would also help is if we stopped being hand wringing politically correct mamby pambies and butting in and thwarting the natural social order of things so kids can learn conflict resolution so they don't go and find a gun.
