11. The best firearm safety training group abandonded its emphasis on safety

That group is the NRA. At one time, they were the most respected firearm safety group. Their Eddie Eagle program taught kids safety above all. (Find a gun? Stop! Tell an adult). Then they drank the koolaid.

Those in the extreme gun control wing are partly to blame. Action & reaction. But it's not all their fault. As Repubs put up barricades against its members drifting towards the center, NRA followed their lead. In doing so, a respectable gun safety group who firmly held, and still holds, that the 2ndA defines an individual right, went off the deep end w/ the rest of the conservatives.
