“I personally don’t think firearm safety has a place in the schools,” Lori Haas, spokeswoman for the Virginia Center for Public Safety, told FoxNews.com. “That’s up to the parents to teach that at home.”
And that, lady, is because you are a moron. You have no problem with teaching them about sex, STDs, fire drills, auto safety, and stranger danger but you have a problem with teaching them the safe handling of firearms? Wow. You really are stupid. I mean seriously, I’m not even going to sugar coat in any way, shape, or form that you are quite possibly stupidest person that ever lived. The “Virginia Center for Public Safety” eh? Oddly enough the Virginia Center for Public Safety doesn’t actually give a rat’s ass about public safety unless that “safety” involves taking away your 2nd Amendment rights. That’s right, the Virginia Center for Public Safety is just another gun-grabber organization that hides behind the all encompassing veil of “public safety” when they really don’t give a shit about public safety at all.
Haas, whose daughter is a survivor of the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, said her group is outraged that state lawmakers are placing “a burden” on the state school board that it didn’t ask for.
“A burden” on the state school board? Oh, it’s okay to make them host DARE events and MADD events and every-ethnic-background-except-Caucasian-heritage-month events and it’s okay to make them foot the bill for condoms in school but god forbid we teach them how not to get shot to ribbons. Burden my ass. Push your agenda someplace else you irresponsible harpy.
“For the general assembly and governor to dictate to the board of education in writing curriculum is not their area,” she said, calling the law a “freebie to a special interest group.”
Uh huh. You mean like the “freebie” you would like to get to push your anti-gun views in public schools? Because that is exactly what this woman wants. She doesn’t want kids to be safe, she wants them to be indoctrinated that guns are bad bad bad and a fringe benefit to not teaching kids gun safety is more juvenile gun deaths… which supports her position that guns are bad bad bad. Thanks lady, but I prefer that kids get an education about how to handle hazardous items and situations at school from an organization that deals with those hazards every day. The fire department teaches about fire safety, the cops teach DARE, MADD comes in and teaches about drunk driving to kids that aren’t even legal to drink yet… I think I want the NRA teaching gun safety. I’ve seen some of the parents out there and some wouldn’t know what end of the gun the bullet comes out of let alone what to do if you find one.
So what is this big, bad, pro-gun, NRA “freebie” that has Loi Haas’ panties all up in a bunch? Well, here it is in a nutshell…
NRA’s Eddie Eagle website says that the program’s goal “isn’t to teach whether guns are good or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children.”
The Eddie Eagle mascot advises children: “If you see a gun: STOP! Don’t Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult.”
Eddie Eagle does not promote firearm ownership or use and firearms are never used in the program, the website says.
“Like swimming pools, electrical outlets, matchbooks and household poison, they’re treated simply as a fact of everyday life,” the website says. “With firearms found in about half of all American households, it’s a stance that makes sense.”
Ohhhhhhhhh wow. How evil and insidious is that?!? God forbid we teach kids not to handle a gun if they find one.
Lori Haas and her blatantly anti-gun Virgina Center for Public Safety can cram it in their collect ass sideways. They need to stay in their lane and their lane is exceedingly narrow… almost as narrow as their minds. So the best way to keep kids safe is to not teach how to handle or how to not handle those things which might kill them? Wow. Talk about screwing for the sake of virginity. Oh, and before some asshat comes along and gets on a soapbox about how she had a kid at Tech who survived the massacre and how dare I say what I said, chew on this: I’ve lost a niece and a nephew to gun violence. One was a victim of crime (what would have been called a hate crime due to circumstances if the races were reversed) and one (that I never got to meet) because somebody (not her) was stupid and screwed around with a gun. Had he been through a safety course, she might be alive today and I might have had the honor of meeting her.

Wow, from reading this, I would have sworn this was Nicki and not you Sniper…
“For the general assembly and governor to dictate to the board of education in writing curriculum is not their area,” she said[.]
Silly me, but I thought education was a state issue. Being that the Governor is the executive of said state, I am pretty sure it is his area. Again, silly me but I thought is was the governor and legislators that ran a state, not the board of education nor a center for public safety. In other words, Haas, sit down and shut-up until you are educated enough to participate in the councils of adults.
VTWoody: this one just got me pissed off. Seriously pissed off.
RWE: Don’t give them the credit by calling them a “center for public safety” when all it is is a front for an anti-gun lobby.
RWE: You are correct. The State Department of Education exists to carry out the education mandates of the Governor and Legislature.
Sniper: GREAT Post! I feel exactly as you do, and deal with this same level of bleeding-heart crap up here in Maine all the time. That’s one of the primary reasons I home school the youngest.
By her logic I guess they also shouldn’t teach first aid classes, not to mix ammonia and bleach in chemistry, and not to lay your hand across the piece of wood on the band saw in shop class. Those “burdens” should be taken up at home. They have no place in a public school setting. To think that public high schools used to have rifle teams where kids would shoot at school on ranges that were sometimes inside the school (mine had one closed off in the basement with a bowling alley as well).
My dad taught me gun safety and how to shoot when I was five years old. He did it because we had guns in the house. He made it very clear that I was never allowed to even think about touching a gun without his supervision. You break that rule, you get the belt and your grounded for life.
I’ve done the same thing with my children, and they will do the same with their children some day.
Great post, Sniper. Thanks.
Must be great to live in that oxygen-deprived environment that Lori Haas and her kind live in. Great post, sniper, if only that was a PSA, and being broadcast on TV all day, every day.
