Sponsor Representative Selina Bliss says she wants kids to learn proper firearms handling from experts to stop accidental deaths. She also denied the bill was intended to train children to use firearms.
Rep. Selina Bliss, R-Prescott, who sponsored HB 2332, said she wants children to learn proper firearms handling from experts to stop accidental deaths, and denied that the bill was about training children to use firearms.
Two high school students also voiced their opposition to the bill at the first committee hearing, saying there’s not enough funding for classes they consider beneficial. The exact curriculum is another concern of opponents. HB 2332 says sessions should be based on firearms accident prevention programs that must have “a task force made up of educators, school administrators, curriculum specialists, urban housing safety officials, clinical psychologists, law enforcement officials and firearms safety experts from the National Rifle Association,” along with other requirements.
But opponents, including two high school students who testified against the bill this month, worry the training would take away already limited school resources and push gun culture in public schools.
