Apart from the risk of nurturing a lethal killer, many have questioned about the immediate safety of other students due to the presence of firearms on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just one problem. Students who use the range won\u2019t be using firearms\u2014they\u2019ll be using Daisy air rifles and pellets. They\u2019ll also undergo an extensive safety test and be required to observe strict safety measures while on the range.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a marksmanship safety test they have to take, and they have to get a 100 on it,\u201d Commander David Wegman told WRAL. \u201cIn addition to that, they have to sign a safety pledge, get permission from home and then finally demonstrate on the range that they know how to handle one of these air rifles safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shooting range poses no threat, Wegman continued. \u201cThe procedures that we have in place ensure that we do the same thing, the same way, every single time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only JROTC members are eligible for certification. Four are currently certified, though Wegman said he would like to certify all the seniors by the fall.<\/p>\n<p>Inquisitr acknowledged these facts, but not before a little good-old-fashioned fear-mongering. \u201cGiven the rising instances of mass shootings in schools and the added danger of students carrying lethal weapons,\u201d the author opined, \u201cit is simply unwise to offer these impressionable minds a venue to improve their marksmanship without leaving high school premises.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I imagine that could sound more condescending, but I\u2019m not sure how. The author concluded with this gem:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmidst the rising incidents of gun violence on campus, experts stress it is not the guns, but the art of conflict resolution that should be handed to the students. Many argue guns and shooting ranges aren\u2019t meant for high school students as these ranges teach a violent skill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Never mind the fact that members of the JROTC <em>will <\/em>likely need to learn marksmanship to defend Inquisitr\u2019s right to publish such nonsense. Never mind the fact that air guns could never be used to perpetrate a mass shooting. Never mind the safety tests and adult oversight.<\/p>\n<p>No, the anti-gun media will take any opportunity to push their agenda, no matter how ridiculous their arguments.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to the Smithfield-Selma JROTC. They\u2019ve done a great job, and hopefully, other JROTC programs will follow their lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students in the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) at Smithfield-Selma High School used the school\u2019s new 1,200 square foot, six-lane indoor shooting range for the first time this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":56297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,593,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-56296","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-jordan-michaels","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
