A New Mexico Democratic state senator has introduced a bill that could criminalize parents who teach their children how to shoot firearms if the children is not considered an "authorized user," according to a state pro-gun group.
State Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez (D) introduced State Bill 224, which says in part, "It is an offense for a firearm owner or authorized user to store or keep a firearm in any premises unless the firearm is secured in a locked container or secured by a gun lock or other means so as to render the firearm inaccessible or unusable to any person other than the owner or other authorized user."
The Daily Wire stated that 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."
