New York City confiscating rifles and shotguns
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/6/2013 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 12/07/2013 4:19:26 PM PST by Duke of Milan

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) is sending out letters telling gun owners to turn over their rifles and shotguns — or else face the consequences.

“You have the following options,” the letter explains.

“1. Immediately surrender your Rifle and/or Shotgun to your local police precinct, and notify this office of the invoice number. The firearm may be sold or permanently removed from the City of New York thereafter...

Many people are stranded behind enemy lines.

I was able to escape from NY more than 30 years ago.

I have been a proud Texan for more than a decade.

“Anyone who lives in NYC by choice that could live anywhere else deserves anything that happens to them!”

I was talking to a former New Yorker. He said he knew this was coming so he sold his house and moved. He took his business and investments to Florida.

Is this a hoax? Do we have confirmation this is real? Just seems so bizarre. (Not impossible! But odd.)

This could get ugly

It's ugly now, but it won't get violent. NYers are cowardly government worshipping sheep. They will baa a little and the few that have guns (other than the criminals of course) will turn them in to the NYPD. Then later they'll get into the rail cars - trusting government to look after them.

They can try it here but Americans know both their rights and history. ( including what happened in Germany as you pointed out).
The dictators and tyrants will be unable to confiscate Americans’ arms.

“NYers are cowardly government worshipping sheep.”

For the most part, you are right. NY could turn into Berlin, 1936 very easily. And the NYers would cheer it.

If Americans knew anything much at all, there would be no President Obama.

But, But, But, registration will NEVER BE USED FOR CONFISCATION!!!

I think even Ed Crotch blew that FART GAS out his pig mouth.

May be wrong, but hey, all you stupid New Yorkers who believed that BS: WATCHA GONNA DO NOW, HOMEBOI??

That knock at the door at about 3:30 A effin M is your NEW WAKE UP CALL.

Don’t wanna smirk and say I toldja so, but HEY STUPID! I TOLDJA SO! And you laughed in my face.

I can’t even COUNT how many stupid friends in NY PROMISED me that I was just a TIN FOIL HAT right winger from PA. A stupid clown, a paranoid idiot from the backwash.

THAT CAN’T HAPPEN! THAT WON’T HAPPEN!!

Now, the emails are FAST AND FURIOUS: Hey, yo, can I stash my stuff at your place in the Poconos?

ANSWER: NO!!! You made your bed, now lay in it.

This is a collective post to those who are now grovelling at my doorstep.

Much as I HATE to do it, much as I’d LOVE to help you out, sometimes TOUGH LOVE is the ONLY wake up call.

Time to draw the line.

No, but as I understand it, it's not exactly as presented by the 2A organizations, either. New York City has had a 5-round magazine limit that predates New York State's "SAFE" act. Apparently what some of the few NYC licensed firearm owners need to do is prove that they have equipped the firearm with 5-round magazines, and not whatever the licensed firearm may have been listed as being sold with in the first place.

I didn't even know that any firearm magazines were legal in New York City (other than for criminals, LEOs, and "special people", like Donald Trump and Don Imus) -- this letter apparently involves some biathlon rifles and biathetes -- other New Yorkers would be more likely to keep any guns they might own at their country homes.

(BTW, when I looked into this, I found that the NYFD regulations limit a NYC resident to possession to 200 rounds of ammo -- so the New York resident who is an aspiring Olympic biathlete faces a virtual Mt. Everest of different challenges!)

The whole country if NYers had their way.

And the NYers would cheer it

Yes they would. They're arrogant ignorant smug self-satisfied self-absorbed fools. Something in the water?

They’re not even bothering with the public safety song and dance anymore.

This is strictly about control and subservience.
