Sounds like they want to teach actual firearm safety. Every high school in America should offer a class like this. Maybe there would be less kids dying because of their negligent parents.

As one who would favor military and military-like weapons not being widely available (but conversely has a significant interest in how firearms work), I still agree with you.
My ideals, like anarchism are more of a “North Star” (no global anarchic society is likely in my lifetime and ideology should always take backseat to helping people, so doing one’s best to in non-ideal circumstances to enable positive change and mitigate harm is mandatory). That is to say, while I don’t think military and military-like arms should even exist, that is a pipedream and the reality is that they do exist. So, education on safe handling and the associated risks that they have is important to reduce unintentional harm and give people a better chance against this inflicting intentional harm.
I’m with you. In my opinion it’s not much different than sex education. Better to teach kids the facts and how to make good choices then leave them to figure it out for themselves from other, questionable sources like video games or TV/movies.
I learned gun safety in Boy Scouts and it’s always stuck with me.
