    Stossel: NYC Government Traumatizes Gun Owners

    Stossel: NYC Government Traumatizes Gun Owners




    Published on Aug 8, 2017

    If you have a gun, don't fly out of New York with it! Almost every week, New York City arrests someone who brings a gun to the airport–even when the person has a gun license from their state, notifies authorities about the gun and follows TSA procedures for flying with it. John Stossel interviews people who were arrested and confronts the assistant district attorney who prosecutes them.

    In its battle against guns, New York City traumatizes law-abiding gun owners who pass through New York and its airports with guns. One man was even arrested for traveling with an empty magazine.

    Bills have been filed in both chambers of Congress to make gun permits valid in all states, which would prevent cases like these.

    Stossel interviews Patricia Jordan and Avi Wolf, who were arrested at the airport. Patricia had tried to declare her gun, which was unloaded and in a TSA-approved case. Avi was trying to declare an empty gun magazine–essentially a piece of metal with a spring in it.

    For their effort they spent a day in jail. They were threatened with three years and six months in jail–the mandatory minimum for having a gun in New York. They spent months worrying about how to beat the charge. Each spent more than $15,000 in legal bills.

    Eventually the government let them off with a violation–"public disorder."

    Stossel says: Give me a break. He confronts the Queens District Attorney's office that prosecutes such cases.

    This is Cuomo's fault correct? The support group of Cuomo is the www.ecdems.com

    Elections are coming up for our local town boards. People running for those seats are supporting members of the www.ecdems.com

    Good time to send a message to those who belong to that political party.

    So before safe act we had all the same issues ? - Could you point them out ?

    We had a reasonable pistol permit process - a 4473 (background check) which also was OK.

    We didn't have the reregistration of hand me down rifles/shotguns ! We didn't have the reregistration of past handguns covered under your current permit - we didn't have ammo restrictions - we didn't have configuration restrictions - we didn't have magazine restrictions -

    But please explain how Gov Cuomo didn't cause all the above and more !
    Thanks
    #Dems play musical chairs + patronage and nepotism = entitlement !

    This is a NYC thing. We get US Citizens from all over the country with guns, typically returned from Canada, all the time. No one gets arrested. The NF cops even have a policy memo on it on their web page.
