POLICY:

Firearm Education

Introduction:

Jasmine Sherman’s administration recognizes the prevalent concerns surrounding firearms in the United States. It is imperative to address these apprehensions with a comprehensive approach that prioritizes both regulation and education. Our policy recognizes the wide array of fears and anxieties regarding firearms within our communities. We acknowledge the urgent need for measures to ensure the safe and responsible use of firearms while upholding the rights of citizens. 

Our focus is grounded in a commitment to fostering a culture of firearm safety through education and training programs. By equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to handle firearms responsibly, we aim to mitigate risks, promote understanding, and safeguard the well-being of our society. Our policy has a delicate balance between upholding Second Amendment rights and safeguarding our communities, while implementing comprehensive standards to ensure that every individual has access to the best firearms training possible. By prioritizing access to quality training from an early age, we aspire to instill a culture of safety surrounding firearms as an essential life skill.

The Federal government will establish standardized guidelines for firearms education, encompassing safety protocols, handling techniques, marksmanship, insurance and legal responsibilities.

Integration into Primary School Curriculum:

  • Firearms education will be integrated into the primary school curriculum, starting with age-appropriate lessons on safety and awareness.
  • The curriculum will emphasize foundational concepts such as firearm anatomy, safe handling practices, storage solutions, and the importance of respecting firearms.
  • Lesson plans will be research-backed and designed to cultivate critical thinking skills, decision-making abilities, and responsible behavior regarding firearms.

 

Promoting a Culture of Safety:

  • Similar to teaching children to avoid touching a hot stove, firearms education will impart essential knowledge and skills to mitigate risks associated with firearms.
  • By demystifying firearms and promoting familiarity through education, we aim to reduce accidents, misuse, and incidents of firearm-related violence.
  • Community task forces and outreach programs will reinforce the principles of firearm safety and responsible ownership among individuals of all ages.

 

Insurance Requirement:

  • All individuals owning firearms must carry valid and up-to-date insurance specifically covering their firearm(s).
  • The insurance policy must adequately cover any potential damages, injuries, or losses resulting from the ownership, possession, or use of the firearm.
    • Please note, the insurance company may require a background check for eligibility for their insurance. 

 

Responsibility of Firearm Owners:

  • Firearm owners are solely responsible for ensuring that their insurance coverage is current and sufficient.
  • It is the responsibility of the firearm owner to maintain documentation proving the existence and adequacy of their insurance coverage.

 

Liability for Damages:

  • In the event of an incident involving a firearm owned by an individual, the owner is held liable for any damages, injuries, or losses incurred.
  • Liability extends to any damages caused by the firearm, whether through accidental discharge, misuse, theft, or any other circumstances.

 

Reporting Requirements:

  • Firearm owners are required to promptly report any incidents involving their firearms to the appropriate authorities and their insurance provider.
  • Failure to report incidents or comply with reporting requirements may result in penalties or the invalidation of insurance coverage.

 

Enforcement and Compliance:

  • Non-compliance with the insurance requirement or failure to meet responsibilities as outlined in this policy may result in legal consequences, including fines, penalties, or even revocation of firearm ownership privileges.

In envisioning a system where obtaining a firearm is similar to the process of obtaining a driver’s license, several key similarities can be drawn. Firstly, prospective gun owners would undergo comprehensive training on firearm safety, handling, and regulations, similar to the driver’s education courses mandatory for obtaining a driver’s license. This training would ensure individuals understand the responsibilities and risks associated with firearm ownership. 

Secondly, applicants would be required to pass both written and practical examinations to demonstrate their knowledge and proficiency, similar to the tests drivers must pass to obtain a license. Additionally, background checks would be conducted to assess the applicant’s eligibility, including factors such as previous firearm history & mental health status, mirroring the scrutiny placed on driver’s license applicants. If questions about previous history arise; it will be handled on a case by case basis. 

Lastly, just as licenses must be periodically renewed, firearm owners would need to undergo regular reassessment of their skills and adherence to safety protocols. Implementing such a framework would strive to promote responsible gun ownership while enhancing public safety measures.

This policy is enacted to promote responsible firearm ownership and mitigate the potential risks and liabilities associated with firearm ownership. By requiring firearm owners to carry insurance and holding them accountable for any incidents involving their firearms, this policy aims to enhance public safety and ensure proper compensation for damages or injuries resulting from firearm-related incidents. Compliance with this policy is essential for maintaining a safe and secure community for all residents.

In setting a standard of excellence for 3D printed gun parts, it is imperative to prioritize consumer safety above all else. Therefore, all 3D printed gun parts intended for sale must adhere to a strict code of quality and reliability. Just as individuals are permitted to customize and maintain their cars, so too should they have the freedom to work on their firearms. However, this privilege must be accompanied by stringent regulations to ensure that all modifications and replacements uphold the highest standards of safety and functionality. By allowing individuals to engage in the maintenance and customization of their firearms, we not only empower responsible gun ownership but also maintain a precedent of safety within the community. This approach promotes a culture of accountability and diligence, ultimately contributing to the preservation of public safety while respecting the rights of firearm enthusiasts.

The implementation of Federal standards for firearms education, coupled with support for local gunsmiths and integration into primary school curriculum, signifies a proactive approach to enhancing public safety and fostering a culture of responsibility surrounding firearms. By equipping individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills, we can empower communities to make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and ensure safe and responsible use of firearms.
