The Commonwealth seeks to prevent minors from using alcoholic products. Nonalcoholic beer, wine and liquor contain amounts of alcohol and often taste, look and smell like legitimate alcoholic products. Therefore, the Commonwealth has a purpose in the restriction of sales of these products to minors. Nonalcoholic beverages are made for those who want to enjoy the taste of alcohol without the effects of alcohol and should never be intended to introduce the youth of this Commonwealth to drinking beer, wine or liquor. 1995, JUNE 13, 1ST SP.SESS., P.L.1024, NO.17 Preamble The General Assembly hereby declares that the purpose of this act is to provide support to law enforcement in the area of crime prevention and control, that it is not the purpose of this act to place any undue or unnecessary restrictions or burdens on law-abiding citizens with respect to the acquisition, possession, transfer, transportation or use of firearms, rifles or shotguns for personal protection, hunting, target shooting, employment or any other lawful activity, and that this act is not intended to discourage or restrict the private ownership and use of firearms by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes or to provide for the imposition by rules or regulations of any procedures or requirements other than those necessary to implement and effectuate the provisions of this act. The General Assembly hereby recognizes and declares its support of the fundamental constitutional right of Commonwealth citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and this Commonwealth. 1995, OCTOBER 11, 1ST SP.SESS., P.L.1058, NO.21
