Sounds to me like a good start. The problem as I see it has roots in making talk of guns considered evil. Recall there used to be rifle clubs or teams in high school. Such things taught respect in handling and use of a firearm. Heck, at one time it was discussed how old is old enough for the kid to get a rifle.
I was a Boy Scout in the late 60's early 70's. We shot all sorts of stuff routinely. We had shotguns in our cars/trucks at high school because we went deer hunting before and after school depending on the almanac. We carried pocket knives, and never once used them as a weapon.
