At first, I was “where is the gun?” Only after careful and augmented research, I was able to find it: A Deringer with one cartridge, the stuff of mass shootings everywhere.
Don’t you feel safer now?

Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.
Sometimes you just gotta think they’re effing with people. I mean, look at the two guys on the right. They got that look like, why the eff are we standing here. Everyone else got that poo eating grin like hoo boy is this going be funny. I remember when we did crap like that at work, nominate someone at work for a safety award after catching them sleeping on the job. That’s gotta be what’s going on here.
Thats kinda what I was thinkin… but then again, I wouldnt put it past them to be serious about the “dangerous weapon”….it is ny after all
The guy in the white shirt — the senior officer — is the only one who seems to think it’s really a triumph.
And while they were busting someone and seizing their “oh shit” gun, six thugs with knives or concealed stolen pistols walked past them.
I will certainly sleep better up here in NH. 😆
I want to believe this is just a joke.
Because by all that is holy, if this is what NYC tax dollars get the residents, they should be going ballistic.
@Toastrider: No joke, man.
I have a couple of photos that I use in the mythbusting segment of my basic class. One has a small .25 auto with the magazine removed to display the 3 rounds that it held. Also in the photo is a single-action blackpowder revolver with no trigger. NYPD saves the city again.
I’m adding this one to my display.
While it is a bit overblown, that Bond is a gun, and is dangerous. It looks like it is chambered in .38/.357 based on the size of the cartridge. That can be a punishing round, even out of a very short barrel.

Granted, the NYPD does not need to pretend the streets are now safe based on this. Perhaps they should have emphasized the simple traffic stop, instead of the gun. A lot of criminals are apprehended by traffic cops. A lot of crimes are solved.
@CBMTTek: It looks like a .22 Magnum to me.
If I knew how to post a photo here, I would show y’all that is a double barrel 22 magnum. Personally, I’d rather not get shot by a 22 magnum. Or anything else, for that matter. LOL
Looking at those smiles are they honestly proud of their accomplishment or are they just trying to put up a good face for the cameras?
Needs the usual gun == penis caption…
New York is safe now that John Holmes has been emasculated.
What, are they Brits?
Mice throughout NYC breathed a sigh of relief, the rats however were rather amused.
Politics and PR
Anything is better than nothing
Seeing at the picture, I feel safer already. Good job boys
