As a young scout I was taken to the range at a young age of 12 with other youths which had to learn all the fundamentals that my father already taught me at 10. There were a number of kids that did not get the idea of shooting and how to act responsibly with firearms.
Stopping kids from just shooting random animals was done by making them cook and eat what they killed.
As far as adults go, I went to a range with several computer geeks in the late 80s and they were no better. One guy hit himself with the recoil of the .45 right in the forehead because he didn't listen when proper stance was explained, nor did he listen to the rangemanster. I never went shooting with that group again.
