This is another anti gun bait and switch...they start out saying they want to keep children from being shown how to shoot assault rifles...and then you read and you get to the switch.......all rifles with detachable magazines...
So...the uniformed think AR-15.......since they have been programmed to think of it as an Assault Rifle.......and they get to keep kids from shooting everything else.....
Hiding behind the kids is another vile practice of the anti gunners.......considering that many people who own guns teach their children to shoot and how to handle guns safely.....that means they prefer kids not know gun safety......they need dead kids to push their gun control laws....
The authoritarians always go after the children........
Dems move to change 'assault weapon' definition as part of ban on use by youth
“The HEART Act is simple and straightforward: It prohibits the transfer of a machine gun or semiautomatic weapon to anyone under the age of 16. Not at a gun range, not at a gun show, not while hunting, not anywhere, anytime. Assault weapons are weapons of war and should not be allowed in the hands of children.”
The language of the legislation introduced in both chambers of Congress would prohibit the loan or transfer of a machine gun or semi-auto “assault weapon” to anyone under age 16, including even temporary loans at a shooting range or in hunting. To further tighten what is considered an assault weapon under federal law, the bill would mandate that any semi-automatic rifle that can accept a detachable magazine and has either a forward grip, folding or otherwise moving buttstock, grenade launcher attachment, barrel shroud or threaded barrel would meet that standard.
In effect, making such innocuous guns as a .22LR caliber Savage 64 FV-SR rifle an assault weapon by definition.
Likewise, threaded barrels or barrel shrouds on semi-automatic handguns with a detachable magazine would be prohibited from loaning to a youth for target practice or hunting. This could include many popular models such as the Smith and Wesson M&P22.
Tactics like this.....bait and switch...are why we will never trust anti gunners.........
“The Markey/Gallego gun ban proposal is nothing short of an outright attack on the right of parents to decide when and how to introduce their children to the American heritage of outdoor sports,” said Todd Rathner, executive director of the Arizona-based NFA Freedom Alliance in a statement emailed to Guns.com. “Their craven assault on parental authority and Second Amendment rights would eliminate the ability for a parent to choose the manner and type of gun safety and self-defense training they believe is best for their family.”
Rathner took particular exception to the sweeping language of the measure that would target many guns in current use for youth shooting sports.
“As it is drafted, this bill would prohibit a parent from allowing their child to hunt or target shoot with millions of the most common, popular, and safe firearms in existence, including the ubiquitous Ruger 10/22 .22 caliber rifle – the most popular rimfire rifle in America – if it has common features such as a threaded barrel, folding stock, or a pistol grip,” Rathner said.
“If a parent hands a gun on this massive ‘ban list’ to their child, the parent could go to federal prison.”
And this is the key........making a felon out of a law abiding gun owner with the a pen.....for an activity that has been going on in this country since the founding....
No crime will have been committed, no one will have been shot with the weapon......
How about this......how do you keep a weapon in your own home........? If your kids are not allowed to touch it....if you want to teach them gun safety...to keep them safe?
