How the CCSD Gun Safety Letter Should Have Read

​Today, NVFAC published the contents of the gun safety flyer that Clark County School District will be circulating to parents.
 
All it basically says is “Playing with guns is dangerous. Please educate your children so they don’t do that or bring them to schools.”
 
The statement is a well-balanced one that probably should be a bit more strongly worded. It doesn’t tell people to lock up their guns or do anything unconstitutional, but to be responsible and educate their kids.

Given that too many kids have brought guns to school and the parents showed total recklessness in letting the kids have access, I don’t think
 
Let’s admit it: this isn’t aimed at gun owners who read this blog or any of the people getting pissed online. This is for the stupid people out there. Remember, common sense isn’t so common and if you are of average intelligence, half of the people in the world are dumber than you are.
 
So I’ve prepared a translation of how the letter should read: 

Dear irresponsible parents,
 
In order to keep kids from bringing guns to school because they keep doing it, the people you elected to run your school district passed a resolution to remind you to keep your kids from bringing guns to school.
 
We would like to remind all parents that to keep kids from bringing your gun to school, lock up your guns. This really is a big problem for us as we’ve had a large number of incidents of students bringing guns to class. Of course, the gangbangers and wannabes will always do something stupid, but too many not-so-bright kids decided to bring a gun to school for various reasons, all bad.
 
Studies show that too many kids shoot themselves and others because they had access to a gun when they shouldn’t have. This is mainly the responsibility of parents too dumb to lock up their guns or too stupid to teach their kids not to play with guns. If you lock up your guns and teach your kids not to be stupid, chances are they’re less likely to die from accidental gunshot wounds.
 
State law doesn’t require you to lock up your gun per se, but if you can’t educate your kids not to play with guns and bring them to school and you don’t lock them away, the District Attorney can make your life difficult.
 
The school district and others are working to educate parents about not playing with guns and bringing them to school.
 
Please, for the love of everything holy, if your kid is too stupid not to play with guns or not bring them to school, lock them up. If you aren’t sure, lock them up. That’s all we’re saying. 

I see a lot of gun owners online freaking out and treating this like it's sex ed telling moron teenagers to use a condom. Well guess what, kids gotta learn safe...gun safety somewhere.

Now maybe we can work on teaching kids on how to safely shoot and the really basic Eddie Eagle stuff?
