the the story certainly is not. Granted, NBC is the leader in faking stories the other three aren't too far behind. This one used statistics that counted teens shot in gang battles as the same as a little kid picking up parent's gun. The actual number of that is about 50. That was either incompetent or dishonest reporting, take your pick. The fact that used misleading statistics, I say dishonest.
That said, I'm skeptical of any abstinence only based "education". Just telling kids not to do something without a better explanation than "because I said so" doesn't cut it. My firearms safety training started with a demonstration of what a .357 will do to a watermelon.
