New York State Sets Up Gun Snitch Line With $500 Award
The Gateway Pundit ^ | March 20th, 2013 | Jim Holt

And, The Troy Record also has news on the tip line on their Facebook page – It is real. There is actually someone there to take your tips… So that state officials can come take your guns.

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 State Police 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.

This is like something you’d read about in China or Cuba, not America.

Somebody with PhotoShop skills needs to put that number on a photo of the late Reverend Gene Scott.

You have to give them enough information to identify YOURSELF (to collect the 'reward') or they won't take the tip seriously.

Submit more than 2 tips and they won't take the tips seriously.

Then they might come visit YOU.

The only way to deal with this is very directly.

OH MY — LOL — good ol’ Rev. Gene! I hadn’t thought about him in years.

Enjoy this send-up:

Gene Scott was occupying his own mountain with God, somewhere between the valley of the crackpots and the further shores of academia, just within sight of the televangelists that make you want to pull your ears off of your head. He was one of a kind, and he worked hard to stay that way.

Everyone call up and rat out Chuck Schumer. Use the picture of him firing the gun.

I hope thousands of calls come in targeting every one of his bodyguards and police. They all have guns, after all.

Don’t consider filing a false report...That would be a crime...

By calling and just saying “Ohhhh, I got the wrong number”...Then simply hang up...Those 800 numbers are not free...Free to us, but not to them...

Then let them bitch and whine about all the calls they are getting that are not leading to any leads for them to confiscate these weapons...

If you are still afraid of them tracking you down, then buy just one pre-paid cell phone...Use it till the minutes run out and toss it...I mean how much is your liberty and freedom worth...Better to harange them this way that fight them on the street...Everyone will lose then...

Just my opinion...

It is not surprising. Many anti-gun people want to make owning firearms socially unacceptable, they want to make it a stigma, like smoking cigarettes. Tax it, ban it, make rules to make it almost impossible, penalize honest people, etc.

A gun will generally take one rd in the chamber, plus the mag. So a 10 rd max equates to a 9 rd mag. No the Demolsheviks don’t realize it yet, but once they do, be assured that they’ll enforce it.

One of the commenters in the article brought up a very good and dangerous point...

All it takes for a real criminal to make an easy $500 is to plant one of their useless guns in a law-abiding citizens vehicle or home, call the number and drop a dime on them...

You folks in NYS are really screwed...

I guess we will have to change the slogan: “snitches get stiches” to “snitches get slugs”. What do those idiots think is going to happen to those rats that reveal illegal gun ownership in NYC? If nothing else it will certainly increase funeral parlor jobs and thereby lower the unemployment rate. (Am I being too cynical here?)

HEY NEW YORKERS, YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE, SO LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!

It is time once again to play that game, the Saul Alinsky Reversal Of Rules for Radicals.

Get on that tip hotline and report every leftist you know, every leftist politician. A similar approach was talked about during the pro-gun Albany, NY rally some time ago, and it did work. The left doesn't like to be ridiculed, make fun of, or for attention to be drawn to them unless THEY initiate it. You've got a phone number, so USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. The left gets nervous when it sees that you will not be pushed around, that you are pro-active and that you will RESIST, DELAY, DENY, OBSTRUCT AND SABOTAGE ANY AND ALL OF THE LEFTS'S ATTEMPTS TO DENY YOU THE CONSTITUTION, FREEDOM, LIBERTY, YOUR RIGHTS.

You've got the phone number, so have a plan and then make that call.....screw em’ in any way you can.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU stevie_d_64.

BUY A PREPAID PHONE AND USE UP THE MINUTES AND TOSS IT. YOU MAY HAVE TO SHELL OUT A FEW BUCKS, BUT HOW MUCH IS YOUR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY WORTH TO YOU? Remember, delay, deny, refuse, obstruct, sabotage.

No need to spend the money planting a gun. Just plant a 30 rd AR mag. They will tear the target’s property to pieces looking for the AR.

I have to wonder if anyone is NY is going to fight???

I mean really, the courts and legislature have failed you, you have a governor that is hell bent on destroying your freedoms and liberties, all in the name of public safety...

So I guess the next time someone commits the crime of mass murder in NY, using what they can get their hands on, maybe even go get an Evil Black Rifle and just drive that thing in lock and load and go to work...

How is all of this going to stop that kind of person??? Are we going to see strip searches, checkpoints, and other wonderful restrictions on your freedom of movement and commerce, that will keep you folks in slavery till y’all decide to make a change???

I mean, hey, what say you??? Just curious...

I hate to remind the author that these tactics have been going on in the United States under the guise of the War on Drugs for several decades now. However no one has up till now really put up much of a fuss because of the "I'm not a druggy" attitude.

"First they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me."
