Yep. And prove the gun was operational for the felony but they can still get her on imitation pistol .

Guys, it’s going to take a few years and it’s going to suck , but the lawsuits will win most of it

Middle eastern Muslim being charged with a hate crime against Jews is not rare. Not common but not rare .But attacks against Jews in New York don’t tend to be the traditional stereotype. More often it’s Black on Jewish or Jewish on Black. But there are plenty of arrests on Muslims planning or...

The felony charge is for guns .

They did not charge her with meancing “Vernikov, who represents southern Brooklyn, later turned herself into police "and both her firearm (which she is licensed to possess) and her permit license were surrendered," the NYPD added. "At no point in time was anyone menaced or injured as a result of...

The answer is yes. In New York, the answer is actually yes. And before you start screaming at me. It’s not about right and wrong but reality .

The law changed that the college can’t give permission except to certain professions.

Really? Here is a clip from a movie . Do you think his presentation was a threat ( before he draws it)

That is incorrect . If she exposed to to send a message , it can be interpreted as menacing . And yes, people have been convicted for doing so. Secondly, what is the law against open carry in NY? There isn’t one except that all carry is illegal unless it falls under an exception like a...

There is no brandishing charge in NY. It’s called menacing here. “A person is guilty of menacing in the second degree when: 1. He or she intentionally places or attempts to place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury, serious physical injury or death by displaying a deadly...

I’ve read I’ve read the books . I enjoyed the first one . The sequels — not so much . I feel like he started the prepper genre of practical knowledge disguised as fiction. Like many, I don’t have the commitment to take his redoubt or retreat advice. I liked the old layout of his website better...

The earth’s orbit had missed some recently https://www.newsweek.com/earth-near-miss-solar-eruption-coronal-mass-ejection-cme-auroras-1690430 https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/close-call-destructive-solar-blasts-narrowly-missed-earth-2012-n57011

NYC? Just 72 hours? Not really . It’s a mixed bag. Some neighborhoods yes, others no. Just a power outage? They had that during Superstorm Sandy. Manhattan below certain streets didn’t have power for days . Some places it was for weeks. Long Island was out for weeks . A full blast EMP like in...

Just to give the short version recap of the video. Justice Thomas is going to bring the case of NYS ammo background checks to SCOTUS conference to see if the other justices will vote to hear it on an emergency docket. Not very hopeful for an actual hearing but a temporary injunction until it...

If I got the facts in case wrong , sorry . Even so, man with rifle working the action with people shot , the confusion of the scene is easy. Now ask to engage with a handgun vs rifle with possible body armor , the hand gun guy needs every advantage he can take .

Oh, stop. It’s a description given by one side in a lawsuit . You should take it with an grain of salt Especially the part where it says no reasonable officer would see a man with a rifle in a school who appeared to be reloading it could believe that man to be a threat . Things happen in the...

Don’t worry. She’ll still vote -lol

I agree. And he might sue the state of NY when it’s over in federal court for civil rights violations.

The funny thing is I have never seen such a punishment even if Trump was guilty. And I don’t think he is any more than very other business man .

Trump doesn’t have money? That’s the case we are talking about, right ? I think it was a hearing . But if it was a bench trial, that’s one of the risks . You might get a stupid or biased judge .

Yep. They would at least try. It’s a the last gasp type effort . It buys them time . Time to try to overall the supreme court as Justices expire.

It’s why we have appeal courts .

Thanks

I just read on another forum that Trump did not commit a crime because there is an injunction on that law.

I heard it was a one time course and it’s up to the licensing authority as to what training constitutes that requirement. I know of retired cops who have to take that class if they want to keep their carry permit.

Yes but if either side appeals to SCOTUS , it would apply to the whole country if they take it.

They might not want to appeal because if SCOTUS does take it it would apply to the whole country

Such a change is BS, just for the problems it could cause . Two different groups of employees now just claim to represent all the employees. And it’s the business that will be deciding until the feds say otherwise? As opposed to them making the claim to the feds and let the feds sort it out...

I wish that were true. There were a few cases years ago that upheld the law but it was pre-Heller. FPC and GOA have the resources and there are plenty of potential plaintiffs upstate. Maybe they will do it .

Guys, what is the penalty if someone sells ammo without doing the background check? Is it like the failure to recertify a lifetime permit?

That’s basically what recert or should be is on the part of the license holder . And what I said is exactly that . The recert falls on the license authority to run the name and see if they are still eligible for a firearm — it should be a requirement on them , not us. A lot of places do this all...

Their true intention maybe . The stated intention to justify it is to keep it out the hands of criminals. And just to let you know, they run cops names for such all the time in addition to a “hit” notice to his agency if he or she has fingerprints sent in— ie if they are arrested - automatically.

The licensing officials are supposed to running the name’s periodically anyway . Go see what is happening downstate . They have RENEWALS and not recerts. They have fill out a new application every three years . And if you are angry over cops and their exceptions to some of the gun laws, you...

That’s what they would be checking for during the recertification. There is no automatic alarm ( that I know of ) if a permit holder gets arrested or other action like an order of protection especially if it’s an out of state arrest. And especially if fingerprints aren’t sent in. So the license...

The recertification process should be on the license authority and not the permit holder anyway. The licensing authority should just run the name in the computer , if no issues , stamp it recertified, and move on to the next one.

While they can buy them from legit sources, they usually get it from the same source they got the gun from — illegally . It doesn’t affect them at all. Meanwhile , why this system ? They could just show a permit and it’s known the person passed the background already . This might be a good...

This ammo thing is a waste of resources even if one thinks it “could do something “— which it won’t

It is a fact . Why the sudden uptake in crime in specific areas and not others . Bail reform yes but look at what laws were decriminalized by those woke DAs too. The arrests for the small things aren’t being made , crime soars . What cultural change do you think caused the sudden decline in...

Wrong . Absolutely wrong . It was arrests for small things . Broken windows theory policing .It is exactly how NYC brought down their crime in the 1990s. Want further proof. The NYC transit police started broken windows . The subway was literally dramatically safer than the streets of NYC after...

It wouldn’t work. Two things would happen. Cops won’t make arrests unless they personally saw it . Or because they have a reason to make sure a person who was arrested, gets convicted, they will not look or some will hide/not bring forward exculpatory evidence that might free that possibly...

Maybe. The real problem is you and many other people don’t really understand what is going on and why the system works the way it does . And where to fix it. It’s usually not with the enforcers but the makers of these laws and the courts . You want equal enforcement in general of the laws. If...

You are wrong . Arrests in themselves when there was bail did make a difference. Do you actually think the courts in NY were really “putting people away “ during the 1990s when the huge crime reduction started ? They weren’t . The average sentence for a child molester was probation . Robbery...

I’m not being dishonest. It’s already happening. Why do you think crime is skyrocketing? The Ferguson effect is real . So let’s go with the 1 innocent man vs 1000 theory . That’s courtroom, or formal charges and conviction, not arrest . Why? Because arrest is how the suspect is identified or...

And the rapist goes free. Not even stopped to be identified. It will happen for every crime the officer didn’t personally witness. And even then , not always

The conviction rate has absolutely nothing to do with the police. If you have a woke DA and they just don’t want to prosecute, that’s on them , not the cop. If the victim no longer wants to participate in the case for whatever reason, that’s on them, not the cop . Most cops learn quickly not to...

Let’s use an example closer to you. If someone said you surf for kiddie porn and then said it to everyone in your life , how would you prove you didn’t to sue them? You would sue them and deny it. Now , the burden is on them to show how they weren’t negligent in making that statement. The burden...

Again, we are talking reality. If the person simply denies it, that is often enough. Again the teacher example I used above. Now the burden is on the person who made the statement. “Private figures only need to prove that the defendant was negligent in making the false statement. This means that...

Okay. Break that down again. You say something the person claims is a lie and he sues. He says it’s not true . Now it’s on you to convince a jury that it is. The burden is on you. For example, a parent says that a teacher of twenty years slept with one his students at a school board meeting ...

Nope. Make a statement against a non public figure and they sue , the burden is on you to prove it’s true. It’s the reverse for a public figure. It’s not just a malicious intent issue. What saves most people from being sued is the lack of damages

See, there is the rub. The difference between the call to CPS and a public accusation is the CPS investigation is supposed to be confidential. A teacher sees bruises on a kid and makes the call as the law requires. CPS contacts the parents and the parents show an a car accident report. No...
