We’re the Only Ones Professionally Courteous Enough

In New York, Some Police Officers Can Drink, Drive and Avoid Charges – Officers in New York State crashed their official vehicles, hit other motorists and arrived to work reeking of alcohol. And yet, they sometimes evaded criminal punishment, an investigation found. [More]

But surely this isn’t something that’s longstanding and systemic, is it?

Is it?

A Small Price to Pay

Good, but will the state appeal? And when when are they going to suffer punitive damages?

Not that any of it comes out of the pockets of those responsible…

The ‘New Second Amendment’

How the NYPD, Manhattan DA are fighting radical online ghost gun manufacturers [P. 14]

I like the old one just fine, thank you.

You know, the one where the Framers envisioned guns without serial numbers for everyone…

Didn’t they even include a Preamble to the Bill of Rights to explain why, that is, “in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of … powers”?

Ol’ Deputy Chief Nilan certainly looks the part.

None Dare Call It Treason

(4) acknowledges that States with strong gun laws are endangered by States with weak gun laws, and that the trafficking of firearms across State lines puts the safety of all Americans at risk; and (5) acknowledges that Congress has a duty to pass comprehensive Federal gun safety legislation in order to prevent future tragedies and address the epidemic of gun violence in the country.

New York citizen disarmament for everybody! By bagel brains, of course.

What can I say besides Jerry Nadler, Dan Goldman, and Democrats?

They, of course, know this only has a “7% chance of being agreed to“– for now. Let the Republicans blow it and the Dems regain majorities and this will only be a “good first step.”

GOA wins one.

He’s fighting for us on this, too.

Here Come the Judge

We agree with the District Court that the Plaintiffs’ individual-capacity claims are barred by absolute judicial immunity. We further conclude that Article III’s case-or-controversy requirement bars official-capacity claims under § 1983 against state court judges who rule on firearms license applications under New York state law. Affirmed. [More]

Your options…

Sing it, Pigmeat!

Bores to Death

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New York Assemblyman Alex Bores (D) said that “it is finally time for us to have a nationwide ban on assault weapons, on these AR-15-style weapons.” But “we shouldn’t be in these discussions on the ticky-tacky aspects of the specific guns. We need to be taking action to keep people safe. Exactly where we draw the line on exactly what kind of weapon, we can discuss.” [More]

We’ve seen where that “discussion” ends.

Glock Watchers

Democratic lawmakers are trying to make gun laws even harder in New York, including the sale of Glock brand firearms. Legislation passed a senate committee to ban the sale of pistol converters and convertible pistols. The legislation hones in on the firearm brand Glock because the design is easily manipulated.

Zellnor Myrie. Good grief, Democrats are dumb.

Think Glock’ll pull a Barrett?
