hey i need support. i want to make a UN thing. please endorse me.: gun education in school

In schools, drug and alcohol educaton is found oftain. These programs have helped educate millions of children about the use of these substances and their negative effects. Similar programs thats taught gun education could be applied to schools. these programs would teach children about the real horrors of guns and their effects, whether direct or indirect. Teaching our children about this safety can reduce gun accidents that cause death in children and the misuse of guns in their future. This would also promote children to stay away from gangs and organized crime.

Jedai I agree with you 100% there should be programs that teach children about these things. But that is something that individual nations should decide amongs themselves. The UN should not be dealing with something of this nature. Not only that but there are a couple of things that would need to be fixed in this resolution. If you wish yo go ahead with this I would be glad to fix it up a lil for you. But I ask that you understand that we a UN Members most protect the right for nations to govern their own people. :wink: :D

thanks, well how do you suggest the proposal? Im fairly new at this game. Also, If you liked the proposal endorse me

i am with you.

He might have a U.N puppet like i do, but mine is a delegate :)

Children should be taught proper firearms use and responsibility at an early age, both to prevent accidents and de-mystify guns, so that they do not become a forbidden object that daddy keeps in his closet, but another common household tool that children are familiar with. This would cut down on accidents and also help develop a non-hoplophobic society.

While Alsanchia supports gun education in schools, this must be legiimate education, and not mere indoctination of the 'guns are evil' sort that we have seen with drugs and some forms of sex education. Children should be taught not only the technical aspects of firearm care and use, but also the responsibility to use those firearms in an appropriate manner.

ok now let me put it this way... the worst thing that we can do is teach the kids how to use a firearm... why would we want the kids to do that... i agree that they teach in school all kind of info about it, but that would mean telling them how dangerous it is to have a gun and the damage that it has done to the world and it's people (just watch the movie "bowling for columbine") firearms are the worst invention ever...

peace...

The point of Bowling for Columbine was not that 'OMG!!11!!11 guns are teh eval', but that the culture of fear and paranoia is the destructive element, and guns are merely a symptom of that culture. What I would see is a means to combat this fear by demystifying firearms.

While history is certainly replete with instances of violence and brutality, do you think that guns are the cause of this, or do you think that absent guns, people would use swords and spears? Or sticks and stones? Or perhaps simply their bare hands?

Our nation has just applied for membership to the UN. Be that as it may, if by the time that we are a UN member this proposal is raised, we will throw in our support for the passing of said proposal.

The Nation of Inner Qwghlm has no crime, citizens do not own guns, the police are not armed, only the Defence Force is armed. What purpose or benefit would these lessons have for the people of Inner Qwghlm?

Should this proposal be put to a vote of the UN membership, Inner Qwghlm would be likely to abstain, unless the cost of implementing the measures proposed were found to be disproportionate to their utility, in which case we would oppose.
