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.

How much does NYC pay for information regarding crooked cops and corrupt politicians?
It’s nice to know that New York States financial condiion is so good that they can afford to piss away taxpayers money by rewarding pimps who report a neighbor for an illegal gun.
- I - AM SPARTACUS!
Sadly, the libs will be using the tactic against conservatives.
Dems path to fairness is to turn lawbiding constitution believing citizens into common criminals.
right on schedule...its gaining speed/momentum, and pretty soon we wont be able to refresh the browser fast enuff to keep up...
Here's the details - I may just call them myself... except the Texas area code on the caller ID would "tip" them off.
NY State has established a toll-free tip line – 1-855-GUNSNYS (1-855- 486-7697) to encourage residents to report illegal firearm possession. The tip line also allows for information to be submitted via text – individuals can text GUNTIP and their message to CRIMES (274637). The New York StatePolice staff the tip line 24 hours a day. Upon receiving a call, troopers will solicit as much information as possible regarding a firearm tip then contact the appropriate police agency with the lead to initiate an investigation. If the information leads to an arrest for the illegal possession of a firearm, the “tipster” will be awarded $500.
“I see dead people.”
I didn’t see anything.
but we still have the House, they will be the stop-gap for this, Bohner and Ryan,
BAWAWAWA.
I know but, IMO we need to take the high road here.
Wonder if the Feds will attempt to find the posters who tipped off the ATF and CPS or do they encourage such? In NY, apparently they do.
so what’s the number?? block your number, call it and report any welfare neighborhood that you saw people with illegal guns....overwhelm them....
New York is very much E. Germany and the Stasi.
Interested minds alike want to know what New York Cuomo want to do about it (the info on illegal gun owners).
If I were a New Yorker, I would demand Cuomo spit out his plan before allowing him give out 'rewards'.
Neighbor against neighbor.
Sad but I don’t trust any of mine. Not even for a second.
Talk about a field day for anyone with a microphone in front of their face.
I’d come up with “official reports” of rewards being paid for turning in anyone that was a Jew, Black, illegal, homo, Christian, Muslim, you name it.
I would flood the airwaves with the “official” reports.
“That’s called ‘stooping to their level’ and it’s illegal.”
So here we are in a mud pit fighting animals who don’t obey laws and you want us to abide by the Marquis de Queensbury rules.
You’re quite a piece of work, new guy.
NYers will stick together on this one especially in the hoods. No one will rat anyone out.
So you attack your own?
This is such a Soros move.
