Is it just me or do most democrat legislators appear delusional?

This one is way beyond delusional. I don't want to violate Mr. Cotton's wishes but it is my opinion this one in particular is certifiable nuts. Other representatives I can treat with respect. This one, I can't muster a moticum of respect.

Actually I think this part is a great idea.

SEC. 8. EDUCATION: NATIONWIDE FIREARMS SAFETY PROGRAMS.

It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) each school district should provide or participate in a firearms safety program for students in grades kindergarten through 12 and should consult with a certified firearms instructor before establishing the curriculum for the program; and
(2) participation by students in a firearms safety program should not be mandatory if the district receives written notice from a parent of the student to exempt the student from the program.

Why do we need the schools to do this? Haven't we relegated too much of our responsibility to the schools and "village". We don't need the federal government dictating such as this.

[Mack]

What's the point of letting parents opt out of the gun training. Their kids are probably the ones that need it the most.

[Redneck_Buddha]

Nothing good to say about her. Encountered her personally and she is a nasty, hateful, and bigoted individual.

I'd love to see all kids get gun safety training that removes the fear of guns (so that they don't become irrationally afraid like so many adults seem to be) and a better understanding about how guns are legally used.

Based on my own experiences while a teacher, however, those in control of the curriculum are very likely to turn whatever sessions are held into anti-gun brainwashing seminars. Those are the last things that we need.

Useless.

Am I the only one who reads that red part as meaning that "theoretically, if there were a child in my house (even though there isn't), he could access the loaded handgun and shotgun I keep by the bed (if he snuck into my house), and therefore I am in violation of the law? IF there were a child in my house, those two guns would be unsecured and accessible to him.....assuming I did not put them away for his benefit. And so since it is theoretically possible that my guns are accessible to a child (even though there is no child in my house), and since her bill does not state that the child must be in the house for this to apply, then I am theoretically in violation.

I know that is crazy talk, but this is one of the unintended consequences of the way that her bill is worded.
