yeah cant go after illegal guns..can we???? because black people never go to gun shows, so why the focus there?

5 years no bail no early release for each illegal gun, double if you have priors

The reason to have a gun is not to shoot deer, clay or bodega owners. It’s to shoot a tyrannical government that comes for your life, liberties and property. Defense.

open your eyes bot

i think new york state laws gives a minimum 3.5 years for possession of an illegal firearm.. not 5..
