I missed this one back in April of '22, but it looks like Dexter Taylor's trial is wrapping up and the jury is deliberating. Here is the original story: Bushwick Man Indicted for Illegal Possession of Ghost Guns – The Brooklyn District Attorney's Office

It seems crazy to me that the judge rejected his 2nd Amendment argument because he didn't apply for a license in New York City and thus doesn't have standing. He's facing 18 years in jail, but he doesn't have standing.

I'm surprised I missed this one, and I think it deserves a LOT more attention than it's getting. What do you guys think?

FUCK NY. For some reason, I feel much better now :rock:

Warwick Police seized E. Jean Carroll's unregistered gun earlier this year - Mid Hudson News

WARWICK – Town of Warwick Police seized a gun belonging to advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in February after she said during testimony in her defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump that she possessed an unlicensed firearm at home. Warwick Police Chief John Rader confirmed that...

I think she should sue herself for defamation
After injuring her own reputation by disclosing she had an unlicensed handgun. And further adding insult to her own injury,
inviting the cops over to have a look. This advice columnist needs advice.

On the matter of Dexter’s 2nd Amendment challenge, the Honorable Judge Abena Darkeh had this to say:

‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.'

I hope that quote is on the record, because that line needs to be printed in size 20 font and highlighted when his lawyers prepare his appeal.

Sounds like that judge deserves to be a tree decoration.

There's no mention in the link to the OPs article stating that the judge said that the second amendment doesnt apply because this is NY. How do we find out if this is true or not? I see allot of these claims on websites but can't trace down a news source even ones on the "right" that state this.

NYC Man Convicted Over Gunsmithing Hobby After Judge Says 2nd Amendment 'Doesn't Exist in This Courtroom'

Thanks for the article. I'm going to contact the reporter and find out what source he used that states what this judge said. This has spread like wildfire and the only ones talking about seem to be anyone that has a website or YouTube channel. None of them state their sources. I'm wary of propaganda from any side of the political spectrum.

It technically is not illegal to build in NY, but the jumping through the hoops necessary make it pointless and impractical. If one could find a O7 FFL to serialize a 80% and then transfer to the builder it would be legal as far is NY is concerned. Serializing and transferring a "non-firearm" Federally is another story, there must be a means to do it though as plenty of pieces of tubing were serialized pre '86.

I first heard the line from this twXtter post:" "an interview between Breanna Morello and Dexter's lawyer Vinoo Varghese. I don't think the trial was broadcast or anything, so I don't know what's in the record. Might be worth reaching out to Mr. Varghese about the quote.

Unconstitutional, illegal surveillance.

I heard it was the ATF pulling records from 80%er companies that ratted him out to the NYSP. Don't remember where I heard that, so take it with a pinch of salt.
