If someone will not take the time to learn gun safety, they should not own one. They put themselves and those around them at risk. I feel the same way about smart phones and other devices.
@krock I don't think this is a fair comparison as all the "smart" devices are making people dumber, whereas gun safety would make you smarter 
@joshbdoc I agree that most 'smart' devices are dumb to use. I am speaking more about those devices such as computers and phones which we need to use these days. I am concerned about the kids and grandmas.. who do not understand safety basics and are putting themselves and those around them at risk. I am no proponent of gun ownership, but I think people need similar safety courses before getting online.
@krock It would be interesting to have an internet safety course for those users. I wonder how well it would work. I say this as in most major hacks, the human was the "weak link" even after being trained to not be.
@joshbdoc Sophisticated social engineering attacks will always be a problem. I constantly encounter people who did not even get the kindergarten level of education. Tech-ed should be required in schools along with Sex-ed.
