since kids aren’t usually allowed to train with guns… were they all training with their parents before? or is it not that hard, so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?

(asking not 4 myself obvs, just out of curiosity)

    since kids aren’t usually allowed to train with guns

    What?

    I went to a rural school, and everyone had a “hunters education” class in like 7th grade. We never touched a gun but we could legally go hunting with a gun after.

    A shit ton of kids hunt, and most ranges are fine with kids if an adult is with them too.

    Like, it varies state to state, but in lots of areas it’s weird for someone to graduate highschool before shooting a gun.

    But besides all that, guns aren’t difficult.

    so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?

    So yeah, pretty much.

      That’s crazy. I had no idea anyone had a class like that. We’re basically training kids to be school shooters… at school?
