Shouting match leads to gun confiscation, forfeiture

[priell3]

More from New York:

Andrew Cuomo’s New York appears to be a Constitution-free gulag, especially when it comes to the Second Amendment.

Earlier this month, American Thinker reported on the lawsuit Montgomery v. Cuomo, which alleges that a retired police detective had his handguns confiscated by armed sheriff’s deputies, and his handgun permit permanently revoked, after seeking treatment for insomnia.

Now, another suit, filed in U.S. District Court for Eastern New York, claims that a disabled FDNY firefighter injured on 9/11 had $100,000 worth of guns confiscated by police for shouting in his own home – and that the cops conspired to convert his guns into police department property without compensation.

They've brought this upon themselves. I love stories like this, especially when they make the national news. It engenders a "no way" reaction in the people who still live in free states, and helps to reinforce the conviction that we'll never let that happen here.

I wonder who the FF voted for in the past few state elections.

Don't know about NY but I do know lots of union folks around here don't go with the flow. The National and locals might have the big push with other peoples money but it don't always follow into the voting booth.

$100,000 in guns? Now that's got the potential to be called an arsenal! I'm surprised they didn't evacuate 25 city blocks as they hauled the guns out in trash cans and tossed them onto the floor of a police van.

The hell with NYC; I wont even go just to visit.

In this case I like the fact that he is asking for a cool 2 million in damages. I wonder what other guns he has always wanted that he will be buying with his windfall?

You're thinking of that collector in NJ, aren't you? It was the first thing I thought of. Massive collection confiscated after he was the victim of a domestic assault. (Reportedly the confiscation was at least partially because he was over the storage limit for powder.)

Disgusting that this kind of thing goes on.

In one of the accompanying photos you can see guns being hauled out in a trash can.

You would think he'd use it to relocate to a free state. Never the less, a good example of what you can expect when you vote communist.

If he wins that lawsuit, the first thing he's got to do is leave that Communist state and move to a free one where he can at least purchase decent firearms that aren't horribly mutated by idiotic mandates and even more idiotic magazine limits. I saw what passed for an AR-15 in NY. The stock reminded me of a sink drain trap.
