Kindergarteners could learn gun safety in school under a bill gaining momentum in Utah

Monday

Utah students starting in kindergarten may learn about firearm safety in school due to a bill that passed the state House with a 59-10 vote. The bill mandates that students receive instruction on gun safety at least three times before sixth grade, starting as early as kindergarten.

Supporters, like Rep. Rex Shipp, stated that the program aims to prevent accidental shootings among children.

Opponents argued that gun safety responsibility should lie with adult gun owners, not children.
