I heard it was a Glock 17, a 9x19, 9mm model.

You get rid of the guns protecting YOU first.

Yup. also, NYC has some of the most stringent and unconstitutional laws against gun ownership in the nation. Didn't seem to help them at all in this instance. Why would more laws help?

NYC: PUT YOUR OWN CRAZIES into custody & quit blaming guns for your problem.

I grew up in a home that had at least 7 guns on the wall.....

NEVER did any of the 6 of us grab one for any reason other than hunting.

Today, that same farm is threatened by 9.criminals of all stripes.

John Conner needs super robot control. Super robots keep coming back in time to kill him, and shooting up the place, just because he grows up to save humanity from a self-aware super duper computer. What’s a kid to do? It’s destiny.

The timing perfectly lines up with Biden’s latest anti-2nd Amendment dictat as well.

EIC welfare has expanded for singles, seniors

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/changes-to-the-earned-income-tax-credit-for-the-2022-filing-season#:~:text=The%20EITC%20is%20generally%20available,no%20qualifying%20children%20is%20%241%2C502.

Basically, the IRS is making half the FICA contribution for you ... into your Social Security earnings record

But it phases out when you start making too much money

I remember FReepers touting this guy at the time he was elected, using the argument that he was a "conservative" Democrat.

I was pretty skeptical about how "conservative" Adams actually was, and I was vindicated shortly after he took office.

I see very few ideological differences between RINO-turned-independent Michael Bloomberg, hard-core "Progressive" RAT Bill de Blasio, and so-called "conservative" Democrat Eric Adams.

There’s one way to tell if they’re a Conservative or not. If it has a “D” after its name, they’re not.
