And what about the criminals you're teaching? What about those who use their knowledge to hurt others?

Please explain to me how a criminal can use the four basic rules of firearms safety to hurt other people.

No, [you're] case is that because guns are so prevalent, that it should be taught. Clothes are more prevalent than guns.

But the number of people killed cleaning thier clothes each year is presumably quite a bit smaller than the number killed cleaning thier firearms. But I could be wrong, not having seen the statistics.

Using a turn signal obviously isn't common sense to most people, as most people don't use it. Most people speed. Many people don't stop at a right light when turning right. Some people cross a double yellow line. You get the point.

I do get the point, but who is to dictate what is common sense?
Look, you yourself have argued that allowing the public to own firearms is dangerous. I have proposed a way to make it less dangerous.
I will attempt to research the hard numbers, but would you concede that
if people who have had a gun safety course are substantially less likely to be shot,
then it is in the public interest to provide all people with that course?

It makes sense to require GUN OWNERS to go through gun safety. Not everyone. I don't like wasting my time.

And one day, if you choose to have children, one of them might come upon a gun in a neighbors closet. Of course not being a gun owner, it would be a waste of time if he or she actually knew what to do in such a situation.
