I agree, but I do know why it isn't mandatory in the US: It would be against the constitution because it would restrict the right to bare arms and would disproportionately impact second amendment rights of lower income Americans.
No, it wouldn’t.
Having to take a class sometime during school does not disproportionately affect anyone.
You don’t have to tie it to gun OWNERSHIP just to everyone in general, like health class
This wouldn't be included in school and you know it. People would have to pay for it. Take time off of work for it.
I’m 100% for it being taught in school.
What classes are the government both forcing you to take and to pay for?
Nothing now, but you're the one talking about making something mandatory, which would be the government forcing us to do it. And again, it would not be covered in schools, certainly not all schools. People would have to pay for it themselves.
Why wouldn’t it?
We take mandatory classes already.
