There is no education system or any way for a child to grow up that will not cause them to reach adulthood seeing the world through a tinted pair of glasses. You have to pick which world view you child reaches adulthood with, there are no neutral options.
You can probably survive being shot long enough to take your time aiming and putting a bullet in the other guy's chest or head anyway.
Of course, a movie that ends with both duel participants slowly bleeding to death from poorly placed shots doesn't make money like Hollywood fantasy duels do.
This is that long standing myth that you need a degree to teach elementary school subjects. It's only been in the past century that teaching has shifted in the public eye to some sort of higher art that can only be accomplished by professionals.
And if the public school system is so great, shouldn't you be familiar enough with the basic ideas to teach your children by the time you graduate?
Are we doomed to lose all knowledge as soon as the Union of Teachers collapses?
You turn them loose on the internet to talk to the well informed and mature people on/.
In seriousness though, homeschooled kids are probably going to interact with people differently than public schooled people. More talking to and learning from adults than kids their own age, less hanging out in the mall culture, less obsession with fashion trends and being "cool", more willingness to take the authority of a parent over peer pressure. Less drugs, sex, and booze.
They aren't going to fit into the social normals, and I don't think you can convince me that our social normals are a good thing to conform to.
Of course I am a homeschooled kid, raised in a community of homeschoolers, so I do have some bias, but I also have more experience with it than you do.

Where do you think all your ammo is going? o_0
So couldn't you just pay your five dollars and create a group that includes every citizen in SC?

Which probably requires months of expensive classes and a costly license. So it's basically the same as outlawing it.
