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.”

Hmmm. Maybe, just maybe, schools shouldn't spread the dismantling of the bill of rights. How about that? Maybe NY legislators should be more involved in serious things like the "mare" of Londonistan. Maybe, like him, they should remove all ads for fast food/junk food from NY transit system vehicles. Yes, they walk among us.

There are a lot of guns in this country, but that doesn’t mean we live in a “gun culture.” In most places, it’s rare to see a gun in public unless it’s being carried by law enforcement. A would bet that the vast majority of guns in this country are never used at all.

I was just reading this article in the NY Post about the Soviets most lethal sniper during WW2 and I love this quote of hers:

“Firearms are beautiful, the most perfect creation of human mind and hand.”

I gotta remember that, say it to a lib.

Deviant sex culture is A GO

This is what they want. Children sexing up other children, or grown adults, in perverse ways without any guilt.

This is what they want.

“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.”

Rosenthal is utterly full of sh&t. Here lady, IIRC, one of the ROTC kids at that school died trying to save lives during that horrible tragedy (unlike the corrupt and cowardly sheriff and his deputies). Also, tell me why were there no incidents involving kids running amok with guns in schools in the days of when rifle shooting clubs were that much more common and when kids even brought guns to school so they could go hunting early before or later after school?

While NY is at it, ban Hollywood shows/movies where gun and physical violence are depicted.

I wish, they do more damage to the USA than even our worst foreign enemies have ever done. There is absolutely nothing of benefit that comes from this party, it’s like living with a plague you can’t get rid of. If Trump could rid the country of this disease by somehow convincing people to vote them out of existence he will have done more good for the entire world than any other person in human history with the exception of our Lord and savio Jesus Christ himself.

It is time to ban radical leftist, anti-Constitutional Democrat politicians because they spread “COMMUNIST CULTURE”.

Basketball is out. Can’t shoot baskets anymore.

Football? Oh, my goodness. We can’t have people hailing Mary and throwing bombs.

In TX, we’re doing away with gun sports and going to fishing sports for high schools. Sure, it takes real skill to drop a hook into the water. Hey, mom, I lettered in fishing! That’ll look real good on a college application.

Hmmm...since NYC schools are a breeding ground for young progressives, maybe that’s not such a bad thing...don’t need an armed enemy at our backs.
