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.”

Bolshies certainly don’t want gang bangers to know guns can be used for other than getting minorities to the polls.

I got really gun acculturated with the Army in Vietnam, firing everything from a 25 caliber Beretta to a 90mm tank gun.

The Beautiful and The Terrible.

Yes, God forbid we teach any kind of sense of responsibility, discipline or achievement to young skulls full of mush.

I hope the lib keeps his or her head and quotes the Lord to you. “Do not fear those who can kill the body but then do no more. Fear Him who can destroy both body and soul in hell.”

I hate to burst bubbles but unless we could create something that could shoot Satan, which would pose a pickle because we are fonder of him than we think, we would not at all have anything perfect. As though the weapon we made couldn’t be used by anti-sniper snipers.

[[claiming the sports “spread gun culture.” ]]

In the late 50’s my Brother took his .22 Rifle to School twice a week because he was in the Shooting Club.

The School had a Gun Range in the Basement.

This was in Long Island, New York.

Those are some good photos - there's a similar one of '76 vintage floating around with me in the group.

I'm trying to figure out what type of rifles the 1923 El Paso girls are holding.

Mid 60’s in Albuquerque, there was always a bunch of rifles in pick up trucks in my high school parking lot. Never knew of one being stolen either.
