NY State tough on gun crimes? Not so much...

[Mreed911]

A 25-year-old woman has been sentenced to up to four years in prison for lying on firearm transaction documents when she bought guns used by a man to kill two New York volunteer firefighters on Christmas Eve 2012.

Evidently he was a prohibited person (felon) and she made a straw purchase. Instead of facing federal charges and time, the state convicted her of the equivalent of a fraud charge.

For all the rhetoric and laws, when they have something they can actually prosecute, they don't. <sigh>

No, they just want to convict the legal gun owners

Well, it would be pretty silly to throw the book at her for the actions of an evil assault rifle.

Never underestimate the stupidity and hypocrisy of New York where guns are concerned.

If the guy who committed the act had been locked up for the rest of his life after killing his grandmother with a hammer, this whole thing wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Go somewhere else with your filthy logic!

I's apolojiza, massa!

Those evil black guns need to be banned!




Is that better?

 

[franzas]

Don't forget the highcap assault clips. And copkiller hollowpoints

 

[Eddie Dean]

Or those 30 round clips in a magazine. My ghost gun can fire off all that in half a second. Ghost guns are bad because they cannot be seen!

^ This.

I lived there for a few frigid years and saw the state punish people for incredibly minor things, yet there was a thriving illegal gun business going on. The Hudson River Valley (Albany to NYC) lives in a vacuum that ignores all reality.
