I teach the NRA developed Eddie Eagle children's gun safety program. No where in the literature (funny books) does it state anything about owning a gun or promote membership in the NRA. The past governor of Virginia proposed & the state legislature passed a recommendation that all school children attend a gun safety program. The liberal Northern Virginia counties would not approve the Eddie Eagle program. Several county councils contended an alternate program not developed by the NRA would be used. Of course, no program existed or was ever taught in these counties. Many other counties in Virginia, boy/girl scouts, 4H clubs, etc. have allowed the program to be presented. Liberal Northern Virginia counties would prefer children risk being accidentally shot rather than give any credit to the NRA for developing & presenting a very successful children's gun safety program.
