New Mexico bill would make it a crime to teach your child how to shoot a gun!
SANTE FE, New Mexico (PNN) - February 5, 2021 - A New Mexico Senator has filed a bill that would criminalize teaching your own children how to shoot a gun. Senator Antoinette Sedillo Lopez recently filed Senate Bill 224 (SB.224), which includes a whole slate of new unconstitutional gun control laws for New Mexico’s gun owners.
But in addition to the everyday gun control ideas like “safe” storage laws, Lopez’s bill says that New Mexico parents could be fined $1000 for allowing a child under 12 years old to “carry or be in control of” a firearm. Period.
For children who are 12 and older, the bill stipulates that parents may shoot with their children only after their children have taken a firearm safety course.
