118. Sorry but I don't see that as a strawman at all
For one thing, I was asking a question, not presenting an argument.
I think that people tend to view many things differently once they have kids. I have taught for nearly 3 decades and I raised 2 kids as well. I tend to view most issues with a critical eye and a question - "Is this good for kids?". Concealed carry is not good for kids so I opposed it. I now cringe every time I hear these school shooting stories. We have built a gun culture in our society and that saddens me.
I honestly can see no reason for any kid to learn how to fire an AK 47, since they have no useful purpose. I did want my own kids to take gun safety classes and they did. So I am not totally opposed to teaching gun safety.
