High-capacity magazine used in Harlem NYPD shooting similar to weapon of war
NY Post ^ | 01/22/2022 | Dean Balsamini, Joe Marino

The high-capacity ammunition magazine a crazed gunman used to kill a rookie NYPD cop and injure another in Harlem turns the weapon into something that might be found in war-torn Afghanistan, experts said on Saturday.

The so-called “drum” magazine allows the Glock to hold an additional 40 rounds to the firearm’s usual 10.

New York prohibits the use of magazines holding more than 10 rounds unless you are active law enforcement or military, according to state law and an online site that hawks the magazines for $89.95.

So it is proven. Laws do not work.

No need for more laws then.

Start throwing the book at people who commit serious crimes.

“New York prohibits the use of magazines holding more than 10 rounds”

This author seems shocked that criminals might not follow the law. Shows the intellectual power of gun grabbers.

He’ll be granted clemency for murder and imprisoned for the high-capacity mag.

The last thing the lying media will implicate In the current spate of violence is the first thing reasonable people will suspect is the cause.

Before they ever acknowledge the true cause they’ll first blame 1) guns 2) trump 3) trump supporters 4) gun toting trump supporters 5) lack of public spending
6) white racism

Well, heck, what’s the problem then? The big mags are illegal in NY. You’d think Bonnie would have mentioned that to Clyde?

Not exactly the same but remember Bernie Getz was not guilty by self defense for shooting the three buttheads on the subway. But he spent a year in jail in a separate trial for using an un-registered gun. His lawyer’s name was Limp Dick.

Yup. No mention of how many shots were fired by the criminal pulling the trigger either. Guns and mags are inanimate objects. Sorta like SUVs the media blames for running over people.

Extended mags are standard equipment with hoods these days. Had a banger here in Albuquerque that mixed it up with 4 cops and gut the better of two of them, and got a third in the vest (all lived). Based on photos the perp had a Glock with several 30 rounders.

So, how many rounds did homeboy fire?

I’d like to hear stories about people encountering these msgs in Afghanistan. Or is that a load of crap?

I would throw the book at the guy for the shooting and killing. As his lawyer I would defend his ownership of the high capacity magazine (ugly and stupid looking as it is).

“Your honor, as you can see my client is disabled and is blind in one eye. This high capacity magazine provided him with a better chance as he enjoys his target shooting sports amongst his peers.”

These days, anything is possible.

The defund the police politicians all of a sudden feel sorry
for this officer.

They want mileage off the death.

Obviously 10 round magazines are to big. They should make them 5 round or better yet 1 round. Because you only need 1 round to kill your attacker.

Unless he fired more than ten rounds the size of the magazine is irrelevant. The real problem is high capacity criminals who commit crime after crime and are still on the street.

I hope every criminal gets a 40 round magazine. Those things jam so much thats probably what gave an opening for the cop to shoot him.

Good point. I suspect he fired less than the original ten
shot magazine could hold. He may have fired more times.

Yes, SUV kill more people. They go on autonomous runs
at night and gang up on people. /s
