New York Democrats Want To BAN Shooting Sports Because It ‘Spreads Gun Culture’ [VIDEO]

New York Democrat Linda Rosenthal introduced legislation to ban shooting sports from New York schools Friday, claiming the sports “spread gun culture.”

If the legislation is passed, high school shooting teams, including air rifle and even archery clubs, would be disbanded, Time magazine reported on Thursday. These programs can lead to violence, Rosenthal claimed, citing the Parkland shooter’s involvement in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) program before executing his mass killing.

“Schools should not be supporting the spread of gun culture in society,” Rosenthal told reporters. “If parents want their children to have shooting instruction, there are opportunities that have nothing to do with the school.”

Perhaps the best course is to purge New York from the union. New York is no longer America anyway.

“If parents want their children to have shooting instruction, there are opportunities that have nothing to do with the school.”

Then why are kids getting kicked out of school for going to the range with their parents outside of school ?

would say I’m surprised, but it is NY after all. Would that some prosecutor, somewhere would have the balls to charge all politicians who vote for this bill with treason.

but that is wishful thinking on my part. my tagline says it all about liberals.

they look to be remington rolling blocks judging by the piece of the rifle seen with the girl on bottom left.

JMHO.

NYC and its suburbs. The rest of the state is basically Rust Belt country, with agriculture and forests, not unlike Pennsylvania and Michigan.

The 1st Amendment gives the people the right to assemble peaceably.

This includes gun clubs.

The same liberals who have sold sex Ed in schools under the theory that it isn’t encouraging sex are now saying teaching gun safety encourages violence.

Mm’kay

They look like lever action .22’s,
though I can’t make out the manufacturer.
One of the girls (bottom row, second from
right) has a finger inside the lever
handle.

I think her fingers are on either side of an exposed hammer, not through a lever loop (note the buttplate, that’s the “top” of the rifle facing the camera). I think they’re single-shots of some kind - possibly Remington Rolling Block designs as previously speculated. Could be Marlin-Ballards, too.

Without side view it’s difficult
to discern. You could well be correct.
There is is another model to
consider. A Stevens Ladies 56 25-20.
Purely a guess on my part, but I
don’t believe a single shot would
be considered for shooting
completions.
