“Teaching shooting in schools” Fazzolari tries to deny. The reply of the director of La Stampa Giannini: “Shoot the ball into the stands to deny what cannot be denied”

“The article that appeared today in the newspaper La Stampa in which it is claimed that I would like to teach shooting in schools” is ridiculous and unfounded. The chat between me and General Federici, President Meloni’s military adviser, which the journalist of La Stampa believes he has snatched away as a scoop, was about something else entirely. The need to provide more resources for the training of the Armed Forces and Police Forces and in addition to this the hypothesis of providing a privileged recruitment channel in these bodies of the State for athletes of sports disciplines reputedly related, even if not Olympic, such as skydiving, mountaineering and shooting disciplines. Two measures on which we will work as soon as possible ». Undersecretary Fazzolari tries to deny the article that appeared today in La Stampa.

Press director Massimo Giannini’s reply was ready: «With reckless contempt for ridicule, Undersecretary Fazzolari literally ‘shoots’ the ball into the stands, to deny what cannot be denied, that is, his idea of ​​bringing shooting courses to schools with weapons. The article by our Ilario Lombardo, which we confirm word for word, is unassailable and from a hundred percent reliable source. Conversely, the illogicality of the undersecretary’s “denial” lies in the things: he mentions the armed forces, who have always practiced in the shooting ranges, and then mountaineering and parachuting, which have nothing to do with carbines and pistols. Evidently, however, Fazzolari’s well-known and ancient passion for weapons enters in. So strong, that he also wants to teach it to students in the classroom, amidst the pedagogical “humiliations” desired by the Minister of Education and the saving lessons on ” Dante of the right” desired by the Minister of Culture”».

Political reactions
The reaction of the Democratic Party also lasts. «Here is the latest intuition of the right, to have young people shoot at school. Is this the idea they have of merit and education? #Fazzolari keep his shooting hobby and avoid turning school into a range. Our students need something else, not a Wild West in the classroom». Piero De Luca, vice president of the Pd deputies writes it on Twitter.

«I hope Fazzolari’s denial is true because we would be faced with the absurd: cutting the 18app on the one hand and promoting target shooting in schools on the other. Fewer books, more weapons.” Raffaella Paita, President of the Action-Italia Viva group in the Senate writes it on Twitter
