Brooklyn Cops Arrest Man with Antique Firearm Replica - NYPD News

I always thought antique pistols (i.e blackpowder) where not considered firearms by the state. If this story is true then the NYPD has officially reached new lows.

Also, LOL at how they are posing next to it looking like they have accomplished something. One of them said
“It’s a great feeling getting a gun off the street,” said Officer Venza. “I just celebrated five years on the job, and this is definitely a career highlight.”
-in case anyone needs further evidence that law enforcement officers are not on the same side of gun owners in this state.

Sounds like the beginning of a Polish-Italian joke, wait a minute, it is.......

Driver was a dickhead, the cop that thinks this gun deal is a 'career highlight' is a dickhead as well, smug looking dickhead at that.

“It’s a great feeling getting a gun off the street,” said Officer Venza. “I just celebrated five years on the job, and this is definitely a career highlight.”

“We were safe, and everything went smoothly for what turned out to be a gun arrest, but it could have gone really bad, really quick,” said Officer Venza.

They sound like a couple of idiots!

The driver sounds like a serious douche bag, but these two? The streets are safer? C'mon!

It's not a firearm UNLESS you have the components to fire it. From the article: "The revolver — an operational replica manufactured by gun-maker Pietta — was found along with black powder, ammunition, and a powder flask."

Good job! The streets are now safer. Hell, Josie Wales killed more people than smallpox with one just like it!

I would seriously be curious to know if a black powder pistol has ever been used to commit a crime in the last 100 years. I'm pretty sure that criminals tend to rely on weapons that don't take 5 minutes to reload.

So how was this guy arrested? I mean I agree that he seemed like a really irritating individual based on the story, but that doesn't justify inverting a crime that doesn't exist.

5 minutes .. more like 20 .. i have one .. might cut the time down to 13 or so if you left out removing the cly and sloping some crisco on it to prevent full auto

It was unSafeAct compliant too! A six shot semiautomatic revolver. No telling how fast he could have swapped out cylinders in a fire fight. I'm thinking the arresting officers watch too many Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns on their IPhones at work.

 

[Madmallard]

According to NY Law you can own that pistol legally with out a pistol permit but the minute you have the powder, ball and wads to load it you need a pistol permit to posse it.

Good work, boys.

This happened in "BROOKLYN", NYC. They have different rules on guns in "New York City".

What's next on their list? Catching some cattle rustlers?

I would like to know the exact charges they filed. Besides all of the V&T violations.

 

[Airborneguy]

Reading the article I'm with them 100%. "I don't need license plates"... sovereign. I need hear no more.

I expected something like, "Cops called to a noise complaint confiscated a replica firearm displayed over the mantle of WWII veteran...", now that would be an issue. Other than the stupid quote by the rookie, this arrest was a good one.

Fuck sovereigns. Too bad he didn't give them cause to shoot him.

PS, Red Hook has a lot of projects. Guaranteed this guy was a pimp or dealer. I caught a lot of pimps back in the day with fake or replica firearms. They carried them to scare white boy johns figuring they didn't need the hassle of a real gun with all the legal implications.

These sovereigns suck balls. I despise them. They all think they know their "Rights" and the laws; they don't know squat! They want to be sovereigns only when it suits them. They want to drive on roads built with tax dollars, but refuse to follow simple laws.

I'm not driving, I am traveling. They sound so F'en stupid.

Nevermind the sovereign BS or whether he's a pimp or a ho. It's a 2A violation. You either support the Constitution or you don't. Whoever the violee is, is irrelevant. It could be Cuomo himself for all I care. I'd still support his fight. I'm no hypocrite.

These 2 quislings standing there smiling for violating the Constitution and saying that one less gun is off the street is sickening.

I liked your post for a point or two.

These two cops' statements make them sound like complete douche bags.

I am a hypocrite, I would do nothing for the tarded driver. And yeah, I support all of our constitution, I do not support idiots like this.

 

[GunXpatriot]

The way they took a damn picture and posed, like they accomplished something, is pretty sickening...

Also, there's no way in hell the dude on the left is passing the physical...

I remember when I went to register a cap and ball pistol with the local pistol bureau. They looked at me like I had 3 heads and gently tried to talk me out of it. I knew the sad state of affairs and they did it. I had to call the online website that I got it from though twice, as the pistol bureau wanted all sorts of info that didn't make sense for a black powder gun. Is it a revolver or an automatic? Neither... uhhhh...

Your statement contradicts itself.
