Notice anything about that picture?  Here, let me help.

Seven of those guns are either airguns or airsoft.

The NYPD even published a blurb about this that is hillariously bad.

The police officers recovered an arsenal of guns and ammunition in a hidden room after responding to a home as the result of a landlord/tenant dispute. A tenant at the residence had been arguing with her landlord when she observed a large knife and a gun in his waistband. She called 911 and members of the 105th Precinct’s Anti-Crime Team responded to the location. The officers stopped the man and recovered a large knife; then they requested a search warrant to look for the firearm.

On Thursday April 26, the 105th Precinct’s Field Intelligence Officer (FIO), along with the Anti-Crime Team and Emergency Services Unit (ESU) executed the search warrant. They found a hidden room behind a bookcase in one of the bedrooms and recovered 16 guns and over 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

Arrested: Male 44

Charges: Criminal Possession of a Weapon (multiple counts)

FIREARMS:

• Roman Arms AK-47 7.62
• Smith and Wesson MP-15
• Winchester 12 Gauge Shotgun
• Savage Arms 338 Rifle with tripod
• Mossberg 12 Gauge 500a Shotgun
• Top Shelf 25 Wolff 7.62 with 30 round magazine
• Crossman Extreme .177 rifle
• Remington Summit Rifle .22
• D/Technik Sporter 7.62 Rifle
• Ruger SR 556
• Fabrique Nationale
• POF USA Model P-308
• Ruger 10/22
• Storm Ruger
• Weatherby 20 Gauge Shotgun
• Magaline Savage Arms Model 10 .308 CAL
• Heavy Duty Flak Jacket
• 18 Large Capacity Magazines
• Metal Knuckle Knife
• Crossbow

What the hell is is a Storm Ruger?  Is that like a “30 caliber clip?”

I’m also calling bullshit on that FN P90 with the short barrel and suppressor actually being a suppressed SBR P90.  That is an NFA double whammy and exceptionally unlikely to occur.

Yes, the Mini 14, and AR and AK pattern rifles are banned in NYC by their AWB.  That alone is enough to justify arrest and seizure.  But did the NYPD have to lie and bullshit us?  Yes, of course they did.  For the same reason that British police include cake servers and potato peelers next to the knives in the weapon seizure reports.  It makes them look like they are doing a better job than they actually are and it frightened the ignorant.

To the rest of us, it looks like what it is, lying bullshit that makes us distrust government agencies.

Just the announcement:

MKS Supply, LLC, exclusive marketer for American-made Hi-Point Firearms and Inland Manufacturing, values the customers that it proudly serves and the God-given freedoms that they enjoy. Because the right to keep and bear arms was recognized by our founding fathers to be a fundamental right, they ensured its protection under the Second Amendment. Just as we show our commitment to our customers by standing behind our products, we believe it is equally important to show our commitment to our customers by standing behind their Second Amendment rights.

In recent months, Dick’s Sporting Goods and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, have shown themselves, in our opinion, to be no friend of Americans’ Second Amendment. We believe that refusing to sell long guns to adults under age 21, while many young adults in our military are not similarly restricted, is wrong. We believe that villainizing modern sporting rifles in response to pressure from uninformed, anti-gun voices is wrong. We believe that hiring lobbyists to oppose American citizens’ freedoms secured by the Second Amendment is wrong. Dick’s Sporting Goods and Field & Stream, in purportedly doing all of these things, have demonstrated that they do not share our values.

MKS Supply, Hi-Point Firearms and Inland Manufacturing are standing by the American people by refusing any further sales to Dick’s Sporting Goods & Field & Stream. We are proud of our products, we are proud of our customers, and we are especially proud of the freedoms secured by our great U.S. Constitution. We are committed to all three.

Scotland after progressivism:

Man to be sentenced for possession of potato peeler in public place

A MAN is to be sentenced after being found on a public street with an offensive weapon – a potato peeler.

Our sister paper the Dunfermline Press reported that Scott Walker, 39, of the James Bank Hostel, James Street, appeared from custody at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.

He admitted that on Saturday in Appin Crescent, a public place, he was in possession of an object which had a blade or was sharply pointed.

The object in question was a potato peeler.

His defence solicitor Selina McKay said her client “suffers from significant learning difficulties which have been lifelong”.

The Dunfermline Sheriff has arrested and charged a retarded man for having a potato peeler in public.  He may serve up to four years in prison.  For a potato peeler.  Potato.  Peeler.

Given the text of the arrest, it may very will be illegal to walk down a Scottish street with a pencil, seeing as that is also “possession of an object which had a blade or was sharply pointed.”

In the immortal words of Scottish hero, William Wallace “They may take away our kitchen utensils, and they’ll take our freedom!”

Palmetto State Armory lost its mind… or not. Anyway it is a good deal. 

This will (one day) will be my scoped AR. Same mags, 30 caliber bullet. It is bound to reach out there with a decent amount of power.

And yes, I know the subsonic thing.  If I can’t afford the upper, sure as hell I can’t shed almost $1K and a pregnancy cycle for a silencer.

Effective immediately, O.F. Mossberg & Sons will not accept any future orders from Dick’s Sporting Goods or Field & Stream, and is in the process of evaluating current contractual agreements.
“It has come to our attention that Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control.” said Iver Mossberg, Chief Executive Officer of O.F. Mossberg & Sons. “Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ recent anti-Second Amendment actions.”
Consumers are urged to visit one of the thousands of pro-Second Amendment firearm retailers to make their purchases of Mossberg and Maverick firearms. Firearm retailers can be found through the Mossberg Dealer Locator.

Mossberg Ends Relationship with Dick’s Sporting Goods

And the hits keep coming.

I have been noticing several small details this last week or so:

David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez are no longer mentioned much in the Media which now is using the generic term “Parkland Kids” like it was some pee wee sports team.

The shaming campaign against NRA members failed. Not only the NRA Annual meeting went on even when calls were issued for its suspension or prohibition, but it broke a new record of attendance.

Not a pure statistic, but I have noticed an increased chat about new rifles being bought or constructed in Social Media. Obviously I don’t hang out in Liberal locations, but the tales of new shooters buying rifles or old shooters doing the same did increase.

Report from a blogger about the NRA AM that saw an increased number of women on their own checking out the exhibits. Moms pushing strollers was a welcomed sight.

The Moms Demand and the NoRA anti-gun rallies were a catastrophic failure. And it does not help the cause when you are a celebrity for Gun Control like  Alyssa Milano and you are literally surrounded by armed body guards.

As usual, the crime rate dropped in the area next where the NRA AM was held. This is getting boringly repetitious which is good but kinda dispels the myth of Gun Owners being dangerous people seeking to shoot anybody in sight and predictions of blood in the street.

Bank of America does the Michael Jackson moondance and recants is previous stand on not financing “assault weapons” manufacturers with a big loan to re-structure Remington.

Then we have Pro Gun Control New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has resigned because he liked to beat women during sex and instead of saying “Who is your daddy?” he went with “Who is your master?” which it does not look good when one or your partners is black.

Next is that the OG Celebrity For Gun Control, Miss Rosie (Million Mom March) O’Donnell might have violated Federal law with her campaign donations. Of course, penalties will not apply to her.

And to close the post, I checked the NICS Firearms checks for last month and it was the best April in the history of the background checks for that month: 2,223,213. I would say that with the March numbers included, the Post Parkland hysteria against gun has possibly netted 4,990,912 firearms in the hands of citizens. I am leaving out te numbers February as adjustment.

That thing I am smelling, would that be Eau du Failure?
