Police on Friday found a rocket launcher inside a Bushwick, Brooklyn home during a raid for guns and drugs.
Officers from a Bronx precinct provided a tip to the 83rd Precinct in Brooklyn that guns and drugs were inside a home at 846 Knickerbocker Ave., sources said.
The 83rd Precinct officers raided the ground-floor apartment of the Bushwick home Friday morning, and found a military-grade rocket launcher in the home, sources said.
The rocket-launcher was a single-use weapon and had already been used, sources said. It cannot be re-armed.

Thank you, local CBS station, for stating what's obvious to us 'gun nuts', but unknown to most of your viewers:
"The rocket-launcher was a single-use weapon and had already been used, sources said. It cannot be re-armed."
So, in other words, there is no functional difference between the 'rocket launcher' and a spent .22LR brass.

"Used single-use device"; at which point it becomes a "De-Wat". Or does NYS now fear the owner is a "mad scientist" that might contrive a way reload a LAW from materials gleaned from Lowe's or Home Depot ? Or he could use it to create a "trail trap" using grenades, if he had live grenades, that is.
Hoplophobic insanity gone amuck is a better description. Unfortunately its purveyors have the backing of an OOC judical/legislative system and the bottomless pockets of the public purse at their disposal. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
