Breitbart reports, “NY Dem Pushes Bill Labeling Traditional Guns as \u2018Child Operated Firearms\u2019<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“New York State Senator Jos\u00e9 M. Serrano (D-29)<\/a> is pushing legislation that will require retailers to label a traditional gun which lacks a disabling device as a \u201cchild operated firearm.\u201d The legislation\u2013Senate Bill S3444<\/a>\u2013then bans the sale of any \u201cchild operated firearm.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some hysteria from NRA-ILA, “New York City Lawmaker Proposes New Gun Ban<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“The term \u201cchildproof handgun\u201d sounds innocuous enough, but like most of New York\u2019s 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, \u201csmart guns\u201d and ammunition background check databases. Undeterred by failure after failure, anti-gun lawmakers in the New York Senate<\/a> are back pitching more gun control …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Serrano is not the mastermind behind the bill. It has been around since long before he first took office.\u00a0 It is one of the batch of antigun program bills that are reintroduced every year.\u00a0 It’s good for gun owners to keep in contact with their elected representatives, but the wording of NRA’s alert is not helpful.<\/p>\n
