GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) -

Lawmakers in South Carolina will soon discuss whether students across the state should focus extra attention learning about the Second Amendment and right to bear arms.

The bill's sponsors, including Greenville County Rep. Garry R. Smith, said the Second Amendment is the most important one and it needs to be promoted.

Others in the community, like Spartanburg licensed clinical social worker, Barry Keith, are concerned that mandating school curriculum, and overemphasizing guns, could cause confusion for kids.

The Second Amendment Education Act of 2015 would designate a day for school kids to recognize the amendment.

The bill would require public schools to "conduct poster or essay contests" about the second amendment and honor state winners.

It demands students in elementary, middle, and high school, receive Second Amendment lessons "at least three consecutive weeks in one grading period in each academic year," and recommends that the National Rifle Association (NRA) create the curriculum.

In these early stages, Rep. Smith knows the bill will be in for a lot of discussion and changes, but believes the Founding Fathers put the right to bear arms as number two on the Bill of Rights, because it helps protect all the other rights.

Keith said after hearing about other school shootings, he's dealt with children in Spartanburg with PTSD, or some who are scared to go to school.

He's concerned that a bill mandating three weeks of discussion about the second amendment would increase fear in students, especially young ones.

Proposed bill wants to bring 2nd Amendment into the classroom

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCIV) -- An Horry County lawmaker wants to change the script in South Carolina schools and introduce more education specific to Second Amendment rights.

Rep. Alan Clemmons pre-filed a bill in December that would require three weeks of education specific to the Second Amendment.

Clemmons is not the only one who has ideas to change the state's zero tolerance police on teaching guns in schools. Rep. Lee Bright also has introduced a bill that would offer gun safety and marksmanship as an elective.

What Clemmons wants to emphasize is that these curricular changes would be optional to parents and students across the state.

"Silence is not the answer. Education is the answer," he said.

Clemmons said the idea came to him when he heard about the Summerville High School student arrested and suspended for writing a story about killing a dinosaur.

The student was responding to a classroom assignment and was merely expressing his freedom of speech, Clemmons said.

The state representative's rationale doesn't quite make sense to Patrick Hayes, though.

"Sounds like he's looking for a First Amendment Day, which would be something else we could discuss -- but again picking out one amendment and giving it a day -- I can't understand the logic behind it."

College Professor Calls for Repeal of Second Amendment - Video

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - A proposed bill is looking to change the zero-tolerance policy South Carolina schools have toward guns by requiring specific second amendment curriculum.

"The second amendment should be freely debated in schools and instead the second amendment is being squelched in our schools," said Rep. Alan Clemmons, R - Horry County.

Rep. Clemmons said he first thought of the idea after hearing about the Summerville student who was punished for turning in a fictional story about shooting his neighbor's dinosaur.

The Second Amendment Education Act of 2015 would give students the opportunity for reasonable expression of the second amendment at school without fear of punishment.

"If we let that go unchecked, the second amendment will cease being a freedom enjoyed under the United States Constitution," Rep. Clemmons said.

Three weeks of a high school student's coursework on the Constitution would be dedicated to learning about why the right to bear arms was included in the Bill of Rights.

The state superintendent of education would be responsible for developing the three-week high school curriculum using the National Rifle Association as a resource.

Clemmons is also proposing making December 15 "Second Amendment Awareness Day" for students at all grade levels. Students would be encouraged to submit essays and posters highlighting the second amendment to the General Assembly Sportsman's Caucus to judge.

"At one point we just got so afraid of anything that had the word gun in it that we pulled it away from children, and I think it's time that we get back into it and bring it back," said Robert Battista, owner of 707 Gun Shop in Socastee.

However, some say what schools really need is more gun safety education rather than spending classroom time on solely the second amendment and its history.

Bill to bring second amendment education to classrooms

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- The family of a sword-wielding man who was shot to death by police have filed a civil suit against officers from the Utah city where he was killed in September.

Darrien Hunt, 22, was killed by police officers in Saratoga Springs, Utah, over three months ago. Prosecutors said Hunt had "abruptly and without any apparent provocation" lunged at two officers with a "samurai-type sword," and that the resultant shooting was justified. An autopsy report showed Hunt had been shot six times, at least once in the back.

Attorneys representing the Hunt family have previously contended the officers' account, noting witnesses who said Hunt had been running away at the time of the shooting. Susan Hunt, mother of the deceased, told KSL that her son was killed because he was black.

Hunt family attorney Robert Sykes announced Friday a federal civil rights lawsuit seeking $2 million in damages from the city of Saratoga Springs and the two officers involved in the shooting. The lawsuit alleges that Cpl. Matt Schauerhamer and Officer Nicholas Judson violated Hunt's Second Amendment rights, which allowed him to carry the sword.

"They demanded that he give up his sword -- they had no right to do that. He was causing no harm," Sykes said. "They provoked an incident with this peaceful man."

The suit also accuses the officers of shooting Hunt in the back while he fled and of using excessive force.

Susan Hunt said her son had been in high spirits the day of his death and that he bought the dull replica sword to impress managers at a Panda Express, where he hoped to get a job.
