I didn’t think you could have Asphalt rifles in NYC,
it’s against the law or something.

And as far as these leos they should maintain a healthy
respect for their fellow citizens and it will be recipricated.

Tried to buy one today but they are all sold out. Did get a nice Sig 226 though.

They can’t have that either.

What for? I thought all guns were already illegal in NYC. Seems the coppers can’t wait to start bustin’ down doors.

I’d like to see someone try to confiscate my guns. It won’t go well for them I guarantee.

They didn’t confiscate anything during the first ban, already-owned guns were grandfathered. I think the writer of this story is confused, as the media always are.

They normally don't let that slip out in these stories.

Anyway, here it is, reported by CBS.

Two words come to mind when weapon confiscation starts.
Sniper trap.

May these idjits never heard of Lexington and Concord.

This is a very dangerous path to go on.

Yeh wondering if they can get early retirement before their first (and likely last) day of confiscation.

The problem we have is that these liberal dolts
are just stupid and sanctmonious enough to try it.

I never thought I would see it in my life time but
now I don’t see any way around it.
