Wait a minute... I thought we had a right to keep and bear arms in this country?

This is the same state that didn’t prosecute their governor for procuring prostitutes with bundled payments to avoid financial reporting requirements. Some of those crimes were federal, but he definitely broke some state laws and he didn’t volunteer the information. How many arrests do you see at gun buy backs?

I think it’s best to stick to something along these lines.

Notice how careful they are to keep law enforcement separate from illegal immigrants, so the illegal will feel safe to report crime.

Contrast that with the situation we just saw here.

Contrast the way government officials go out of their way not to insult Islamist perps, and use language that might hurt our illegal immigrant’s feelings.

Seriously, we have a nation of leaders who hate us, and love anyone but us. You can be a terrorist and be treated with more respect than us.

If you’re a tea party member, or a conservative, or a Christian, you’re a potential terrorist.

Are all Islamacists terrorists? No. Notice how careful they are, painting with a fine tipped brush on that issue. “Don’t jump to conclusions natives.”

Then you get to us and they paint with a broom.

Disgusting!

Hasselbacher would not have these problems if he had just lied and said he didn’t have any guns. However, would that have been the right thing to do?

Actually, the word "lie" only applies if the questioner has an actual right to the information requested.

It really was horrible when my father died and within 3 days there's NY state demanding his handguns, antique and all from my mother. She cried so hard.

Just because he died doesn't mean they inherit. Their law may say the guns may not be transferred to another New Yorker, but they have no authority to prevent you from moving them out of state. That would be none of their business, legally or in reason, and for them to imply otherwise is beyond criminal.

It doesn’t, surely the poster is wrong.

Don't talk to the police under any circumstances
Incorrect. Explain that YOU are a cooperative witness only after consultation with a lawyer and the need for quick communication with a lawyer such as a telephone call.

Their law may say the guns may not be transferred to another New Yorker, but they have no authority to prevent you from moving them out of state.

Actually, the new SAFE act requires the filing of "a particularized firearms inventory" with both the Surrogate's Court and the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services upon probate of an estate. Furthermore, anyone caught in NYS with the guns without a permit, even an out of state resident moving the guns to a legal state, can be charged with criminal possession.

I suppose one could try to say there are no firearms of the decedent. However, I suspect (at least in the case of handguns), the court will cross check the pistol permits for the county at the time of probate.

It's hard to imagine a judge would let the prosecutor get away with a stunt like this.

It would be grounds for a mistrial or reversal.

Throughout history, slaves have been allowed to use and possess weapons only with the master’s permission. On November 4, 2008 A majority of voters said, via their votes, they no longer wished to be a free people, they wished to be slaves to the Government. On November 4 2012 they affirmed the choice they made back on November 4, 2008. to make a long story short, they sold their freedom , birthright, and soul for a bowl of Government soup. The Government is now beginning to collect.

I used to say, “If you want to stay healthy, stay away from the doctor”.

Now I say, “If you want to stay FREE, stay away from the doctor”.

This man needed a friend... someone to trust... and in the end faced nothing but betrayal. Watch one of these heartwrenching ASPCA commercials on TV with the scared to death dogs and cats, trembling in fear... multiply that by about 4 thousand million... my heart goes out to this lonely man.

The deceased could easily have transferred the firearms out of state after the last renewal of the permit but prior to his death unless he renewed the day before he died.

“Oh, darn, you were so open with your fascism that even Grandpa noticed and moved his freedom-tools out of your little fascist hellhole while he could still legally do so. Better luck next time stealing someone else’s rights property! Maybe it would help if you tried being more subtle.”

He should have had a dog. Good therapy, takes away a sense of 'aloneness', loyal friend, and they don't rat you out.

Even if they wanted to, they can’t dial 911 or speak human to someone on the other end.

Don’t live in a state where you have register your weapons.
