Doverham:
I regularly practice what you're preaching above. My wife is an active shooter as well and I have no idea how many non-shooters we have taken to our club. No they all haven't become shooters but I think we've taken positive steps in removing the demonization placed on firearms by those who want them banned.
Keep in mind that the NRA has repeatedly offered to utilize it's "Eddie Eagle" gun saftey program in elementary schools and has been blocked each time by the Teachers Union which is one of the most left wing liberal controlled unions* in this Country. My point here is you're dealing with a mind set here that hates guns and the only truly effective way of dealing with these people is through elections and the courts.

* Just look at the financial damage they caused in the State of Wisconsin before the very courageous Governor had their lock on "Insurance" reversed. Their very cretin behavior after this shows the mob mentality of groups of this type.
