Is it difficult to register a firearm in NYC?
Why was it unregistered?
And what happened to the crooks?
Darn near impossible, especially for a handgun, unless you are "somebody", in which case all things are possible.
It is EXTREMELY difficult to obtain the legal necessities for a firearm in NYC. And, even if you may qualify, the system takes a long long time.
Better to shoot back with an unregistered weapon than to not have one and be killed by the outlaws with guns.
When guns are outlawed, Only outlaws will have guns.
This one needs to be decided by a jury made up of people who have been under the gun.
What happened to the stick-up men?
Why, they are victims of firearms violence, of course! I'm sure that NYC is providing them with counseling, to recover from the trauma of being shot at by an unregistered firearm. (/sarc)
Both brothers were charged, It would be fun to know how they both fired one gun. Is that one gun unregistered in both names?? LOL.
And one more thing: the NY cops have traditionally looked the other way re unregistered long guns.
Why was it unregistered?
Difficult doesn't even beging to describe it, unless your name happens to be Trump or DeNiro, both of whom, I believe happen to have carry permits in NYC.
When I moved to NY (not NYC, but out on Long Island - NYC laws are stricter) for school, I inquired about bringing my .45 1911 with me. I was told that it would cost more than I paid for the pistol, and take about a year before I could bring it in to the state of NY legally, but that is only if I became a state resident. If I didn't change my state of residency, I would not be able to bring it with me (not legally).
And what happened to the crooks?
I have no doubt that they're going to get rich.

Not "difficult"; dang near impossible, is more like it.
And what happened to the crooks?
Since the robbers had a legally stolen weapon; and were shot at with an illegally possessed weapon; and had their plans fouly ruined by criminally armed victems, they have suffered enough, and will be released and awarded damages for mental anguish.
Its almost impossible in NYC.
Where in the constitution does it require registration?
