Bill to prohibit public schools from offering marksmanship or shooting programs

[airedale]

A state Assembly bill proposed by a downstate legislator would prohibit public schools from offering marksmanship or shooting programs, including archery.

The legislation’s sponsor is Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal, D-67, Manhattan, who says it is in response to recent gun violence in schools.

Rosenthal said her bill “would increase student safety by prohibiting public schools from offering marksmanship programs or other programs that allow students to possess and discharge firearms on school property.”

The proposed legislation defines marksmanship and/or shooting programs as “any competitive and recreational sporting activities involving proficiency tests of accuracy, precision and speed in using various types of ranged weapons, such as firearms and air guns, in forms such as handguns, rifles and shotguns and/or bows or crossbows.”

I just wrote my assemblymen letting him know my feelings on this bill. It’s a pretty important fight so if you have the time you should as well. Keep it respectful but let your voice be heard

It's absolutely nuts, but they won't stop. The children who aren't managed through Planned Parenthood must be brought to heel in some other way. Hug your kids tightly, and pass on the the values folks. It's the only hope.
