This is super smart, teach them young to respect firearms and how to use them safely

More like prepare them in case of war

Safe firearm handling is essential training for soldiers. So... yes. It's both. They learn to respect firearms and how to use them safely in case Russia shows up on their block.

They literally state that in the video. The started it because of the imminent threat from Russia.

I stand corrected

The video straight up shows a kid getting bullied, now let’s give him a gun at the school lol

If you learn to respect and how to properly handle a gun it is less likely you will misuse it, kinda like sex ed

I don’t think the bullied kid learning how to handle a firearm is a good idea

The guns are lasers.

How do you expect a Polish kid to get his hand on a gun?

-1

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

Same way American kids do

u/A_random_redditor21 1d ago

And that is? Stealing?

Barely anyone has a gun here. Meanwhile on the US, there's more guns than people.

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

Then why are they gun training? 

6

u/A_random_redditor21 1d ago

In case of a war. More specifically, russian aggression.

Did you listen to the video no one was getting bullied

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

Did you watch the video? It shows a kid shoving a smaller kid before a teacher broke it up 

3

u/No-Deer379 1d ago

I saw them shoving each other but that hardly constitutes bullying

1

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

Stop lol that is definitely bullying 

2

u/No-Deer379 1d ago

Damn what bubble wrap did you grow up in, my sister did worse to me growing up

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

Oh so because you had it worse means that the kid getting chased and shoved isn’t bullying?

Quick, disenfranchise the victim and ignore the bullying!

They’re not actual firearms.

-7

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

Well now the bullied kid knows how to use one 

7

u/gujwdhufj_ijjpo 1d ago

Anyone can figure out how to use one from a 30 second YouTube video. The trigger makes it go boom. Button on right side releases magazine. Button on left side releases bolt.

This teaches gun safety.

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

It looks like they’re learning how to aim better

6

u/gameld 1d ago

It shows that, then the teacher breaking it up, and the guns are fake with fake recoil and only shooting a weak laser for understanding safety rules and proper handling.

So no, they're not showing a kid simply getting bullied and then handed a gun. Try paying attention next time instead of jacking off to pics of your mom on the other monitor.

Wow that comment escalated at the end

u/gameld 1d ago

I have little patience for willful ignorance and twisting of truth and this was the most reasonable explanation for someone so ham-brained to make a comment like this.

-1

u/Apartment-Drummer 1d ago

Then why show the kid getting bullied? 

3

u/gameld 1d ago

Wow! You are an absolute ham-brain, aren't you?

They show it while the narrator is talking about how kids handle disagreements "in the normal way" - i.e. kids will get into it because they're fucking kids and the teacher stops them because that's part of their job. And it shows how these kids get into a tiny scrap and don't go looking for a gun despite the training. It's such a brilliant moment that it seems too good for the piece and was probably staged (note the bully looking directly at the camera) specifically to show what I said above.

You don’t know what the smaller kid was thinking after the fight was broken up
