At least with the GOP it does.

Keep them ignorant of things and they'll always be safe from everything that might harm them, right.

I bet you want them to learn all about climate change, a woman's right to choose, evolution and all other things related to the constitution and science. But stay totally in the dark about firearms?

Nice solution.

It's your choice, I chose differently with my own children and grandchildren when it was age appropriate.
