No, perhaps some reading comprehension classes would help you as well.

Someone is around a gun every day in the US. The idea that everyone in the US is around a gun every day is ludicrous. I myself have not been around a gun for years. I'm not around police officers often, and there are laws here about having a concealed weapon, especially a gun. You don't need to exaggerate to make your point. Yes, sometimes some people are around guns.

Hate to burst your bubble, but you are within 10 feet of a gun almost every time you go out in public. Be it a cop (or off duty cop), citizen with or without a carry permit, or a criminal, you are around them. But that sand is so comfortable about the ears, isn't it?

Assume every gun is loaded, point the gun in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger unless you plan to use it, be sure of your target. Guess what? Those are common sense rules. I don't see a reason to teach those things in a mandatory, state sponsored class. They don't have mandatory bomb defusing classes or swordplay, so I think gun safety should be optional. Like sowing or cooking.

If it was such common sense we wouldn't have the number of accidental shootings we have nowadays, would we? And though there is no way to prove it, I would bet 10 to 1 that you had to Google those rules.
How many bombs or swords are you around daily? *cough*strawman*cough*
And how many people accidently sew themselves to death each year? I googled it, but I couldn't find any hard statistics.
In fact lets just go with your idea. We can shitcan sex-education, most high-school sciences, drivers-ed and whole slew of other "common sense" topics. Then we can spend the money we saved on education on important things like rainbows, sandals, and pot.

It's pathetic that we live in a country full of firearms.

And we will continue to until you wave your magic wand and make them all go away.
