ALBANY, N.Y. – Nearly a year before signing the nation's most stringent gun control measure into law, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched a hotline that allows state residents to report illegal gun owners in exchange for a $500 reward.

Welcome to Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia on the Hudson.

Let me guess, all the schools now have these cutesy little posters of Brown shirted kids proudly involved with removing guns for the fatherland, plus they can make easy money ratting out the parents who refuse to let them run wild.

Wow.....so just call in and report every gang banger you see and become rich !

[Cowboy Bob]

If they changed it from “illegal gun owners” to “illegal aliens,” then it would have my support!

[liberateUS]

Time to use their own tactics against them by overwhelming the system with calls to report on the government class. Tip: use a burn phone.

I think it would be fun to report Hizzoner himself, his aides, family, friends, etc. and then watch the fun of the no-knock weapons searches in the middle of the night.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Amen!

But if they ever do get a gun ban in effect will that mean we are all illegal gun owners? Ya gotta think like the puppet masters and stay a few steps ahead of the game nowadays. Incrementalism is one of their staples.

Spoof Card or calling card

With a certain class of Italian you also get a strong whiff of fascism ~ the Cuomo family has it in spades.

BTW, his own firearms are probably possessed in violation of this law ~ TURN HIM IN!

Why government must be small and strictly limited. They let you fund your own destruction.

[muawiyah]

Report them ~ there’s no reason they can’t be reported and odds are good that all of those people you named are currently in violation of New York’s gun laws.

[Doogle]

"Dude, know anyone hiding a gun?"

[G Larry]

Silly wabbit....they’re not interested in gang-bangers!

Once a gun is “reported” as “illegal”, it is confiscated, and you can spend the next 3 years trying to prove otherwise.

I see dead people.

RE :”New York offers $500 reward for reporting illegal gun owners “

Turn in your neighbors for $500.

Dems path to fairness is to turn lawbiding constitution believing citizens into common criminals.

Now are seen as the same as the drug pusher selling crack to kids now if you live in NYS, a threat to society.

[Travis McGee]

Interesting how the exact same ordinary object that makes an ordinary citizen a criminal makes a cop a hero of the state.

[NVDave]

People should do it. Start with the legislators who voted for this mess. Then dime out the campaign contributors to these hacks.

If enough people did this (from payphones, burners or IP phones that are hard to trace), the “rat out your neighbor” program will die a rapid, quiet death.

And the political class will realize that gun owners aren’t going to get on the train quietly...

[BCW]

I hope the people of NY wake up in mass and vote these idiots out!...before it becomes a close kin to Illinois Nazis!

[WCH]

That’s called ‘stooping to their level’ and it’s illegal.

Same thing that happened to that family in NJ who posted on Facebook.
