New Mexico bill would fine parents for teaching children how to shoot

A newly proposed bill in New Mexico would criminalize parents from teaching children to shoot firearms without authorization from state authorities.

"A minor may be an authorized user only if the minor is at least twelve years of age and has successfully completed a firearm safety training course," the bill reads.

The bill, introduced by state Senator Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, would fine parents $1,000 for taking their "unauthorized" children shooting.

Gun rights advocates have heavily criticized the bill, noting that New Mexico already has laws which prohibit parents from putting their children in dangerous situations.

We spend so much time loathing our Western neighbor that we sometimes forget that the one to the East is just as f-ed up. The restrictions they've been under because of Covid are ridiculous.
