0 Days Since Last Shooting: But the Second Amendment!

Re: 0 Days Since Last Shooting: But the Second Amendment!

From the Watertown Daily Times.

Bill A10428 was introduced in the state Assembly by Linda B. Rosenthal, D-Manhattan, on April 20.

If approved, it would prohibit public schools from offering any kind of “marksmanship/shooting programs” that would let students test the accuracy, precision and speed of any number of “ranged weapons.” Along with guns and airguns, crossbows and bows would be included in the bill’s definition of a “ranged weapon.”

Assemblywoman Rosenthal said that she felt children “should have limited exposure to guns, because they’re not a normal, everyday piece of equipment.”

Assemblywoman Rosenthal’s colleagues in Northern New York said they feel that the bill would actually hurt gun safety efforts.

I actually agree with the opinion that it would hurt gun safety efforts. Education about said weapons is necessary. Learn the dangers and safety precautions about the weapons. Don't be ignorant about the weapons. Ignorance is a huge problem concerning weapons. Not saying the classes are mandatory, but they should be offered.

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, new ep tonight. Season premiere. He visits West Virginia. Great show, love it, and tonight he touches on gun culture. IMO, well balanced so far, well done. Highly recommend.

The NRA Convention will be a gun-free zone.

No, it isn't an article in the Onion.

I'm confused. Wouldn't a room full of NRA members with guns of all types be the safest room in existence?

Wrong. There will be plenty of people with guns there.

Yeah, the secret service to protect Mike Pence.

But the "commoners" will have to voluntarily surrender their weapons at the door to get in, even though the NRA says that guns should be everywhere for safety.

When you have the secret service protecting the room there is little to worry about. I doubt anyone attending will have any issue with it.

How will any of them know whose ***** is bigger?

But you need to carry guns because the police can't keep you safe.

The police and secret service are two completely different entities.

So you're OK with the government telling you when it's OK not to carry a weapon. Noted.

The government isn’t forcing anyone to attend.

Both have the same job. You're content with letting the Secret Service do theirs, but don't afford the police the same level of trust/respect.

So you’re trying to say the police and secret service have the same qualifications to get hired and the training is the same? Makes sense.
