I once bought a gun just as a test of the legality of doing so. Having studied NY gun laws for years, I wanted to see how “extreme” a gun I could get. Months of paperwork later, including the Sheriff saying “I’ve not signed such paperwork in my 13 years in this office, enjoy it and make sure I never hear about it again”, I had a 12ga pistol.
I didn’t promptly hand it over to police.
A decade later, it’s not 10 feet from me now, one of my favorites.
The mere thought of firing a 12ga pistol makes my wrist hurt.
And how many children have you killed with it?
Please, don't make me use this. No, seriously, please, please, please - don't make me use this. This will hurt me more than it hurts you (almost). :-)
