The idiocy continues.
A 10-year-old suggests a bully should be shot with a water pistol, so the police confiscate his father’s firearms and the State revokes his concealed-carry permit.
It happened in New York, a State that is notorious for the difficulty it causes its residents who want to legally carry a gun and that recently suspended the U.S. Constitution and passed draconian gun restrictions. The father posted news of his plight April 1 on the Longislandfirearms.com forum.
As much as he’d like it to have been a bad April Fool’s joke, it’s not. In addition to having his guns confiscated and his license revoked, John Mayer’s son was suspended for two days by the Hauppauge School District following the March 1 incident. When Mayer inquired the next day about when his license would be restored, police told him it would be restored when his son turned 18 and moved out of the house.
Mayer has sued the school system and the Suffolk County Police Department in Federal court. “It’s completely absurd,” Mayer’s attorney James Murtha said. However, Murtha does not find the case surprising. He said that Suffolk County has a reputation for stepping on individuals’ gun privileges.
“We’ve been involved in cases and situations where police have severely injured or hampered someone’s rights,” he said . “We see enough wrong doing on both parties to be going toward a federal cause of action because of the civil rights implication.”

Are we from the same planet as these idiots?
And they want to extend their "gun control" to the nation?
Ahhh H NO!
What's wrong with this comment?
Considering what is occurring in NY, John McCain, idiot, does not understand why people are opposed to what they are trying to do?
Are you kidding me, John?
They are rights, not privileges!
This is how you lose the battle because you lost the definition of terms.
All you folks in NY, what are you going to do about this? Don’t expect help from other states.
Up north, law enforcement and the courts tend to have more of a “us vs them”, attitude about guns.
If one is lucky enough to hit the lottery, and get hired by some of the highest paid police departments in the country, then none of this nonsense matters. But, if you’re not one of them, then too f**king bad for you.
It is NOT a Privilege. It is a Constitutional Right. But Fascists do not see that the law applies to them.
Two words for you New York: DUE.PROCESS. I have two more words for you but they wouldn’t get this post pulled.
you know what I meant.
Fascists like those running NY are like that.
The laws do not apply to them.
Since when is the RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS considered a privilege.
Where is the due process? What law did he violate?
I think it’s time we make them apply. The safe act needs to be attacked as the unconstitutional piece of garbage that it is.
“Hey, you crazy bible-thumping gun owners, whatever it takes to get your guns.”
New York....the Gun Control Nazi State
“This year will go down in history for the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.”
Adolph Hitler (1935 Weapons Act of Nazi Germany)
