New Yuck Sucks. So he had a collection of guns. Was he robbing banks? Shooting people?
I'm glad I live in a free state. But I'm beginning to dread the future. When I was 30 years old I could never have for seen Alexandria Occasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris, or Bernie Sanders. The rise of socialism in America in the shadow of the collapse of the U. S. S. R. and contemporaneously with the destruction of Venezuela's society is beyond incredible.

MarkHamTownsend - This guy apparently 'swatted' himself, which means that he's not all there mentally. New York requires permits for possession of firearms, long and short. 'Stockpiling' is just an anti-2A buzzword - if he had permits for all the weapons it isn't illegal.
There isn't enough info in this article as to whether they were 'legal' firearms or not, but I suspect that if he crank-called 911 the cops could scoop up his stuff pursuant to the arrest anyway. |

What a travesty.Collect a few firearms and some ammo while exercising a Constitutional right, and be put in prison. It's been said that together we stand, and divided we fell, If we don't take it back we're headed for hell. Sounds about right, and sadly America appears to be a breeding ground for tyranny, and no one seems to care. |

From the article: "a .308 caliber rifle loaded with three rounds of ammunition in the chamber".
I would like to see how he accomplished that.
One should not need a permit to keep guns and ammunition in one's house. There are only about eight states where this would be illegal.
One would think that NY state has enough criminals without having to make criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens. |

QUOTES
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") |
