Breitbart reports, “NY Dem Pushes Bill Labeling Traditional Guns as ‘Child Operated Firearms’“:
“New York State Senator José M. Serrano (D-29) is pushing legislation that will require retailers to label a traditional gun which lacks a disabling device as a “child operated firearm.” The legislation–Senate Bill S3444–then bans the sale of any “child operated firearm.” …”
Some hysteria from NRA-ILA, “New York City Lawmaker Proposes New Gun Ban“:
“The term “childproof handgun” sounds innocuous enough, but like most of New York’s unworkable gun control laws, the devil is in the details. Sen. Jose Serrano (D-Bronx) is the mastermind behind S.3444, which is as far-fetched as microstamping, “smart guns” and ammunition background check databases. Undeterred by failure after failure, anti-gun lawmakers in the New York Senate are back pitching more gun control …”
Serrano is not the mastermind behind the bill. It has been around since long before he first took office. It is one of the batch of antigun program bills that are reintroduced every year. It’s good for gun owners to keep in contact with their elected representatives, but the wording of NRA’s alert is not helpful.
