Another travesty! How come there is no bloc of lawyers that will step in and quash this shit! The left has that proven communist based ACLU, which has been sold to the American public as a benevolent fighter for your rights, that steps in for everything anti-American.
GRRrrrr.

Florida should say no we will not allow extradition on him and release him. NYS does it with criminals all the time.

 

[Celt]

Fulj, funy!

The ugliness of Leticia the Hutt is aggravated assault on humanity.

"DeStefano’s criminal charges came after a civil suit was filed by Attorney General James in New York, in which DeStefano did not participate. James brought a lawsuit against DeStefano and nine other national “ghost gun” dealers."

So a civil suit now results in criminal charges and the judge denies the man a lawyer. Nice.

"On December 5, 2025, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded with a letter to all Florida Sheriffs and other peace officers in the state, commanding them to arrest DeStefano, who was already in custody."

So the Conservative's great hero, DeSantis, is just another stooge willing to infringe on people's Rights, and directly supports the tyrannical and un-Constitutional actions of New York State.

And the Conservatives think people would want to vote for this moron for Prez? HAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha

Instead of bowing down to heil hochul's b.s. DeSantis should have sent a reply stating her actions are in violation of Federal Law, as well as laws of Florida, and she would be arrested for civil rights violations under color of law the second she steps foot in Florida. He then should have directed his foot soldiers to release DeStephano.

"DeStephano: “I will never turn over my customer data. I am going to Rikers Island and will represent myself if I have to. These are serious charges. I’m either gonna win my case or I will wind up in jail for the rest of my life.”"

Good for him.

And, of course, the ATF is involved. Where the hell is "I'm pro-2A" Bondi and Trump?

 

[Zerex]

This is the reason why few parts dealers are willing to send much of anything to NYS, like AW kits.

Is it illegal to possess spare firearm parts yet? Ammo over 20 rounds?

500k in gold bars confiscated?
Shit they even pulled the 1933/34 Executive Order 6102/ Gold reserve act out of their asses.

 

[MothMan]

It was either Palmetto or 80% or Rock Slide (maybe all of them) that gave up my name as a customer buying firearm parts. How do I know. I was investigated by the purple ties per Fatso James instructions. FULJ & FU Phony 2A supporters like PA or 80% and others.

I was surely confused how he was held for a civil case. I didn’t know you could be jailed over civil matters. Also not sure how his gold bars and cash have anything to do with refusing to hand over a list.

The gold and cash, I believe is due to the 78 million dollar suit that was brought upon him and others

I want to become wealthy, and I'm running out of time. So it's time to go to my plan C.

I plan on disguising myself as a step, and when Jumbo James, that fat, corrupt cow, steps on me.
I'm going to sue her for pain and extreme suffering and take her millions of dollars.

That's if I survive being stepped on by that fat, corrupt cow stepping on me in the first place. Dang, now I'm having second thoughts about my get-rich-quick scheme. After all, Jumbo is fat as fuck and probably weighs about a ton or more.

 

[FP1201]

Florida should say no we will not allow extradition on him and release him. NYS does it with criminals all the time.

And what's this shit about him being arrested in FL, charged by NY, and being held in Florida for 90 days so far? Yea, something smells.

This is a major part of the problem.
DeSantis is lauded as a conservative governor who give no support to leftist un-Constitutional tyranny.
But then he does something like this and shows the world he's no different than der eyebrows fuhrer.

That’s a civil suit so can cops come and confiscate items to hand over in a civil suit? At least that’s what I remember from the article but the article was written so terribly I couldn’t really keep track of what the heck they were talking about between civil and criminal stuff. They also said he was held for the civil case and I don’t think you could be jailed for a civil case. I could be wrong.

 

[Saltwater60]

And he was held on civil charges from what the article said. Never heard of that one.

It's gotten so bad that Rural King won't even send me empty ammo cans anymore.

This is what they want. They want it when you go to PA to buy ammo they card you and tell you no.

 

[Bigfoot]

Ho Lee Cow! I don't like that fat ass Jumbo James for a ton of reasons. But, and I hate to say it.
The biggest reason I don't like her is that she's very good at the dirty, corrupt shit that she does.

She's got a Get Out of Jail Free card and a track record of winning most of her crooked bullshit.

That fat fuck is as corrupt as she is disgusting. I just thought I'd mention it.

yea, you mean to tell me that in three months time two officers could not have flown/driven down to Florida to pick this person up? FFS they could have walked it by now, and did NY Notify this person that they were swearing out a warrant for his arrest? If her were in NY there wouldn't even be a bond/bail and he'd be out instead of having served 90 days for an alleged crime...tell me there's much more that I'm just not understanding.

Communism never sleeps.

Unless Trump acts, there will be no guns left in NYS by 2027.

Don’t you have a right to a speedy trial? I’d say this violates it. I hope I get selected for his jury. I’ll get my payback on these bastards if I do.

I wouldn’t go that far. If they started raiding gun owners houses today they couldn’t hit them all by 2027.

If they started raiding today, three quarter's would probably turn them in.

NY is letting him sit and stew because he refuses to disclose his Customer (specifically NY sales) to the fat-assed cunt in the DA's Office.
Apparently she sent a Letter to Florida Governor De Santis and he's going along with it....WTF!
What they're really after (besides the customer list to exploit) is the $500K in Krugerrand's, cash, and massive inventory...Supposedly ATF is involved...I don't know enough, but I do know it ALWAYS comes down to the money and how much they can fuck you for in a "fair" deal.
