Baltimore police arrested a man Friday after conducting an investigation on illegal guns on the streets.

According to police, the investigation led them to a home in the 3200 block of Howard Park Avenue.

Authorities arrested Troy Green, 44, and seized a sub machine gun, a loaded handgun and a large quantity of ammunition.

TOTAL B.S. AS USUAL.

This is NOT a subgun. It has the two-position fire control switch: F (semiauto) and S (safe). I copied the photo and zoomed in. I used to own one of these so I know exactly what to look for. LIES, AGAIN.

Damn, not ONCE does the press tell the truth.

NOT ONCE.

[Lazamataz]

See my message. I owned one up until about 2002.

Hey man, he’s African-American! Leave him alone!

It’s just lack of jobs, climate change and white privilege that forced him to attain this weapon!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

You forgot some sort of micro aggression.

[DoughtyOne]

I remain unconvinced that’s a fully automatic weapon.

[hardspunned]

Heck, if I were walking the streets of Baltimore I’d be carrying anything I could lay hands on.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

So, what is it?

[IronJack]

It’s an Uzi. With a barrel extender and what appears to be a silencer.

Didn’t even bother to adopt a muslim name!?

[NorthMountain]

Big Media lied?

I'm shocked.

SHOCKED, I tell you!

[Lazamataz]

Semiauto Uzi. Like every other semiauto out there. Not sure about the barrel device, it could be a ‘can’ (silencer) but with the fact this is semi, I’d wager it’s a simple ugly barrel shroud.

[Fiddlstix]

It’s an Uzi. Either a full auto model but more likely a semiauto model (possibly converted to full auto) with some sort of suppressor (silencer)

[Lazamataz]

I have confirmed that IT IS NOT. See my post above, where I explain I zoomed the pic.

[NorthMountain]

UZI, I think, in semi-auto non-SBR form, with a folding stock.

It may be illegal in MD; they have some really retarded gun laws.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Didn’t know that Uzi made non select fire weapons.

Thanks.

[Lazamataz]

It is not full auto. I zoomed the photo. I am a former Uzi owner so I know exactly where to look. It has the 2 position selector, not the 3 position one (for full auto).

[NorthMountain]

Is the “silencer” bogus? (I assume so ...)

[Lazamataz]

They did. They were imported from about 1986 to about 1993 or so. I got my hands on one for about 800, they are 2500 now (for IMI and the other quality brand, forget the name). Mine was IMI.

Had I owned anything like that, it would have likely been lost in the boating accident.

Thanks for the note, to check this out. Good call...
