For more than a year, New York state has maintained a tip line allowing people to report illegal gun owners and collect a $500 reward. CBS-6 news reported the existence of the tip line on Wednesday. It was previously a “well-kept secret” that received little promotion from state officials or fanfare in the media, according to the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association. A February 2012 press release from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office first publicly announced the tip line, saying it was designed to “encourage citizens to report illegal firearm possession.”

I plan to put the number on every tele-marketing or request-for-info form I receive.

Very clever!! Report your (Legal gun owning) neighbor, police come and discover that he is legal, but now have a name and address in their data base!

Back in the days of RED China, it was said if three Chinese got together to talk, you could bet one of them would be a snitch.

There’s a reason to tell as few people as possible that you have guns...particularly if you think they might be wishy-washy.

I bet all the schools just had a great audience so as to tell the students of the great opportunities to make easy money.

Thats right, they will use the gullibility of the children to rat out on their parents.

Hello? Yes, I was out boating today and there was this canoe out on the lake...

This isn’t a new idea. The NAZIs did it too.

False premise:

Guns are not illegal.
