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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
