You’ll shoot your eye out kid!
Or at least that’s what one Assemblywoman must believe of children that attend gun shows with their family.
Linda Rosenthal (D) has introduced a new bill that would ban children under 12 from attending a gun show in New York state.
Via the Times Union (the sarcasm is fantastic):
The bill was put forward by Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, who hails from that trackless wilderness and sportsmen’s paradise known as Manhattan.
“Children should be learning to read and write, not to shoot a firearm,” Rosenthal says in a statement, as if the two skills were mutually exclusive. “Today in New York State, however, a child of any age can gain unfettered access to gun shows. We as a society have placed reasonable restrictions on the ages at which children may watch violent films” — clearly, Rosenthal does not have premium cable — “or play video games that involve hyper-real gunplay; however, there are no age limits on gun shows. My bill will change that.”
Rosenthal, a Democrat, noted Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s announcement that more gun shows have signed on to his procedural code to strengthen enforcement of existing rules to prevent straw purchases and other violations.
“Along with enhanced procedures for gun show background checks, age restrictions will ensure that children are exposed to guns only after they reach an age where they are capable of grasping the enormity of responsibility gun handling and ownership represents,” said Rosenthal.
Say, Ms. Rosenthal. You represent the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. You mentioned that children should “be learning to read and write”. You know where children find it very difficult to read and write? That’s right … in your home town!

What a dangerous POS GTH Rosenthal.
It teaches them the difference between real and play....a golden teaching opportunity for parents...and that is what they do. Everyone I know has personally taught their children about guns and all the associated safety issues.
What a misguided idiot.
“What a misguided idiot.”
Not misguided, determined. They’re prepared to “empty the swimming pool” one spoonful at a time if necessary.
Does she know there are NYC HSs that actually have rifle teams??
Because ignorance of the world around you is a Progressive value!
then why do the elft and libertarians want homosexuality be taught in the schools and the left likes ot say “well it;s the law in that state because they can marry now”
Well, I don’t go to gun shows anymore, but they should definitely ban strollers. Parents with infants in strollers blocking the isles.
BB-guns in grades 1 and 2, .22s in grades 3-6, .223 in grades 7-9, .308, 30-06, 7mm mag and such, and .45 ACP in grades 10-12.
The schools have an armory (and an armorer), indoor range for the small stuff, outdoor 200-yard range at the high schools.
What a wonderful world that would be!
This tw@t needs to be tarred and feathered.
This is not about misguided, this is about brainwashing.
Thank God I got my family out of NYS and gave the kids an opportunity to grow up as TEXANS. Screw you rosenthal and all the other libtarded fools up there.
so NY allows minors in strip clubs WITH THEIR PARENT OR GUARDIAN but not in shows?
I hate my state.
