Should Swiss students be taught shooting skills in schools?

The debate over introducing shooting training in schools near conflict zones is ongoing, with concerns about its psychological impact outweighing potential benefits. In Switzerland, a proposal by MP Nils Fiechter to mandate early firearms education for primary students faced opposition, citing the risk of instilling fear and responsibility without aligning with national security. However, despite these concerns, Swiss students already excel in sharpshooting through years of training. The government supports these initiatives, funding clubs like Youth + Sports to promote safety and excellence, while acknowledging potential psychological risks.
