[Cavalier Knight]

A former New York City police lieutenant, two former police officers and a lawyer who once worked as a prosecutor were arrested in a federal gun licensing probe Tuesday as authorities described a scam in which police employees traded speedy handling of gun permits for paid vacations, jewelry, catered parties, cash and visits to strip clubs.

The solution to this corruption: Constitutional carry.

Just a NICS check when purchasing a firearm. No permitting. No licensing. No corruption.

The "no corruption" part is what they have problems comprehending. Imagine NYS with no corruption?

Because they translate "no corruption" as "no power" for them.

I contend that they did nothing more than the original creator's of the Sullivan Act intended the Sullivan Act to do!
New York's Pistol Permit Scheme was created and designed so that only the well connected could legally own a handgun.
You had Italian gangs - Jewish gangs - Irish gangs - etc. The Irish were in power. Now the Italian and Jewish Gangster could be arrested for having "illegal guns"

Remember this! ONLY IN NY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CCW LICENCE JUST TO OWN A HANDGUN! aka Sullivan Law.
