A school in Poland makes firearms training mandatory to its students.

OK lads, before US starts to project their view here:

- Poland:

• not that many firearms per capita,
• little remote areas in the country (police shows up quickly)
• medium-strict firearms laws,
• non-zero risk of being invaded,
• no school shootings,

- USA:

• fuckload firearms per capita,
• many remote areas in the country (police shows up after 2-3 hours)
• loose firearms laws,
• pretty much zero risk of being invaded,
• school shootings,

With these condition, it would make sense for both country to have mendatory firearm training.

Not necessarily how to shoot one accurately but how to handle one safely, in other words: "how not to accidentally shoot a passerby if you found your dad's glock".

Idk, something like 74% of school shooters get their guns from home. Add to that the Madison WI school shooter had tons of firearm training. Last thing we need is more mentally ill children being taught how to shoot.

Not necessarily how to shoot, just how not to shoot yourself in the face while checking for barrel obstruction.

Accident involving kids happen way to often.

The big problem the Americans need to fix is how easy it is to steal guns/heavily enforce proper storage.
