Because the influential role models teaching firearm safety are the cause of shootings, and not the videos on the platform that tell young men they’re not needed.

I’m okay with that, actually. Start with teaching kids in preschool that if they find a gun they shouldn’t touch it and should tell an adult, impressing upon kids the danger of guns, and finally ending with marksmanship training.
Then cut the military budget by 90%.
If we’re gonna have a rifle behind every blade of grass they should be crack shots.
For my friends that are curious I make sure to take them shooting because I know I’m capable of teaching proper safety and maintaining as safe an environment you can for that, and, like you alluded to, if there’s a gun behind every blade of grass, you really should understand how they work and what their limits are or you risk not having enough information to make good decisions in situations with firearms present. Like imagine trying to cross a road if you had no idea how cars worked at all. Universal education around guns alone would save lives even with no other changes.
