Let's get this straigh... he's carrying a 125-year-old weapon... and they end up calling his collection of historical guns a "weapons cache"?

[FReepaholic]

..."We got a lot of guns off the street," Piekarski said...

They weren't on the street. They were in the man's apartment.

[anniegetyourgun]

Oh, please......

[red-dawg]

these guns can cause very serious injury or death to someone on the street.

Dang, I better get rid of mine then.

[Peace will be here soon]

"We got a lot of guns off the street," Piekarski said. "Even though we feel he may not be a really bad guy, these guns can cause very serious injury or death to someone on the street."

This is lunacy. I think this person needs to see a shrink.

[Graybeard58]

New York, like my state (Illinois) Denies the existance of the second amendment.

[GladesGuru]

If the 125 year old derringer was a black powder weapon, he may have less trouble. But we are, after all, discussing a 'New Yawk' situation - so reason is not an integral part of the indigenous weltanschaung.

[muawiyah]

Displaying the sort of ignorance New York Liberals are famous for, officer Piekarski said "We got a lot of guns off the street," totally ignoring the fact that all the guns but one among those they seized were safely stored away.

[Sam Cree]

Wondering if New Yorkers are allowed bows and arrows? Or atlatls?

[derheimwill]

Does this guy need legal defence money? His address is in the article.

Maloney -- dressed in military fatigues,

No, its not against the law. No, it doesn't mean he's a nut. Yes, I have my own that I occasionally wear...

But unless you're in the field hunting, doing work around the house, or just cleaning out the the damn stalls, wearing military style clothing while under arms is dangling raw bleeping meat in front of the cops. Come on.

[SFC Chromey]

Why yes, these guns were laying in the street, in front of this guys home.

As far as I can tell, from waaaaay out Kalifornia way, those weapons have become animated, learned to operate themselves, and have already graduated target practice school.

(What I say makes as much sense and the bast*** that thinks the guns 'taken off the street' posed a threat all by themselves.)

[stevio]

Unreal.

[sdpatriot]

am i the only one extra extra releaved that this mad man in gastapo Military - type britches, is no longer a danger to those sweet little tire slasher kids?

[Cicero]

Later, as he was being questioned at the 100th precinct stationhouse, Maloney -- dressed in military fatigues, admitted that he had more guns in his apartment.

Very, very stupid. Never tell the police anything without a lawyer being present. As for wearing military fatigues, that has been common wear among hippies as well as rednecks for the past 40 years. Good grief.

[dayton law dude]

Piekarski described Stephen Maloney as a "gun buff" and said that while it does not appear he was intent on wreaking havoc, police are glad to have recovered a significant number of guns. "We got a lot of guns off the street," Piekarski said. "Even though we feel he may not be a really bad guy, these guns can cause very serious injury or death to someone on the street."

And this guys former boss is really the guy we want to head up Dept. of Homeland Security??
I can see it now: "Mr. President, in order to further secure the homeland, we need Congress to repeal the Second Amendment!"

Frankly I will loose no sleep if the Demonrats do all they can to prevent Kerik from taking that post. And I don't want Rudy to have it either!

"We got a lot of guns off the street," Piekarski said. "Even though we feel he may not be a really bad guy, these guns can cause very serious injury or death to someone on the street."

He's NOT a bad guy. But, Piekarski, look to your own and measure it.

SUVs kill by your metric, Piekarski. Go sieze every SUV too.

In fact, Piekarski, there are many murderous things out there. Even heavy bookbags. They can be swung at the nape of a unsuspecting women or child to kill!

Go sieze every family with bookbags, Officer Piekarski.

The streets will be empty. But they will be safe.

Police who went there discovered 26 handguns, eight rifles, two shotguns, two stun guns and about 4,000 rounds of ammunition. Some of the guns, police said, were years old or replicas.

*yawn* Some "cache"... Doesn't even have any assault rifles or explosives.

"Tis best not to mess with me family!"

[Jasper]

This is a classic case of "blue-state psychosis".
I feel sorry for the guy.
