This, not to mention just having the basic knowledge of how common firearms operate and basic safety procedures could come in handy some day. Simply knowing how to disable a gun if you get it away from a shooter, for example.
I used to be super anti-2A when I was young and ignorant. Then I actually learned about the subject, learned how to shoot, and talked to people older and wiser than I and now I fully support 2A rights.
It's funny how almost everyone who supports rittenhouse has some firearms knowledge, and almost everyone who STILL, even after the trial, wants him to burn knows almost nothing about guns at all. They still think "semi-auto" means machinegun or something.

I had my first BB gun when I was like 6 years old. I still remember old videos of dad taking me out to the desert to "hunt rabbits" and me with the stock tucked under my arm missing by a mile, I'm talking shooting 45 degrees the wrong direction of a brave big rabbit sitting no farther than 25 feet from me as my dad laughed his ass off from behind the camera at how widely I was missing
But he GRILLED gun safety into me. I remember once when I passed the barrel of the BB gun over him he yelled "BOOM!" and then "you just killed your father", and then a lesson about never passing the barrel over a living target you don't intent to shoot. I remember he did it to my friend too when he was over, and later my friend was like "man your dad scared me. He sounded serious about me accidentally 'killing him' back there"
I think I was handling real firearms around the age of 10ish, but they wouldn't give me anything with recoil I couldn't handle, so it was usually like just .22's
