Then people could learn the difference between an assault rifle and a semi-automatic rifle before reaching positions of power in society.

The only thing we need to teach our children about guns is that only cops should have them.

There should be a general life skills course about things like personal finance, how to register to vote and find your local voting place, how to change a car tire, and it could include gun safety as well.

It is a problem when politicians are writing gun legislation without a clue what they're talking about.

So we can all agree that people should understand the subject matter before writing legislation on it?

Once we settle priorities, sure. Once we've dealt with the minutia of what different guns are called, we can have a discussion on our obsession with them and mass shootings without being derailed by pedants.

No, gun safety courses already exist and readily accessible to people of all ages, including children. If parents want their kids to learn about guns, they can sign them up to take the class.

Most parents aren't progressive enough to do that.

This. I'm all for gun safety, but I wouldn't waste time in public school when so many other more important life skills could be taught first.

Our current government loves "common sense". Common sense, since it's based on what feels true, is often at odds with actual truth.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

You can say this about most things taught in school

At least the googling part, but there is a difference between seeing someone do it on youtube and doing it yourself.
