Sen. Fahy, Capital Region Delegation Introduce Bills to Crack Down on Flare Guns

And there it is. Every single time someone makes a dumb decision there's someone ready to "legisalate" a solution.

Another slippery slope of "crack down" to a total ban. IMHO

Of course, the delegation is made up of Democrats.
The NY Democrats are why NY'ers can not have nice things.
The NY Democrats are the biggest problem with NY.

If someone were to throw a marshmallow at someone else and accidentally poke their eye out.
The NY Democrats would use that as an opportunity to ban marshmallows and raise taxes.

A delegation my ass . It’s the fucking nanny state brigade in full regalia.

"Albany County Sheriff’s deputies arrested an 18-year-old in possession of a flare gun modified to discharge live ammunition. Law enforcement and state, county, and local public safety officials continue to warn of a troubling trend involving teenagers and young adults using flare guns in assaults, robberies, and other crimes."

1.) Is that even possible? Or am I misunderstanding what they mean by live ammo?

2.) Teenagers? Yeah, sure, more like the elephant in the room.

"Now, Sheriff Craig Apple is sounding the alarm for public safety concerns over a rise in modified handguns like these."

So now, flare guns are handguns?
What's next? Background checks to purchase a flare gun?
Once again, the slippery slope thing.

Instead of "cracking down" on flare guns.

How about repealing the no-cash-bail law and "cracking down" on the criminals instead?

The criminals are the NY Democrats people so that will probably never happen..

I'm fatigued.

I've got fatigue in numerous ways. lol

I've got, crack down, regulate, ban, tax, NY Democrat, and so called teenager, fatigue. All at once.
At this rate, I might have to go to the fatigue doctor and get some anti fatigue advice. Doh!
The doctor's advice would probably be to move out of NY.

I believe the 'experts' call that a ghost gun- no serial number.

Yes, there are chamber inserts available to fire center fire ammo.

criminalizes their use as a weapon

I am pretty sure anything that is used as a weapon is already against the law. More laws for the sake of having more laws.

I need a volunteer

What I want to do is this

I want to bludgeon one of you using a democrat as a club, in essence as a weapon.

Then I will need others of you to make the sacrifice and repeat this action.

I need you to get family and friends to bludgeon people using democrats as club like weapons

I am hoping for the effect that lawmakers will call for a total ban on democrats, and that democrats will be destroyed so as to limit the chances of a Democrat being used as a weapon


Who's with me on this insanity???





BTW, just another reason why women do not belong in government

They have Bills already made up, just itching for a crisis to exploit with them....Look at the SAFE Act that was out and passed within days of the Sandy Hook Shooting in CT. The NY Legislature couldn't pass a joint between them unless the Lemmings have something to clamor in fear about...ALL the bullshit anti-gun Laws that were shoved up our asses were done so over the dead bodies of victims, none of which would have been saved had they been in place.

I like your idea, but the implementation may be difficult, especially when you consider that a significant number of democrats are shockingly obese. Exhibits to include Nadler, James, Abrams et al.

They would serve as excellent bludgeons, but wielding them would be quite a challenge.

Actually that charge could be twisted into the mix: Higher end European Com-Bloc Flare lunching Pistols are numbered, but I HIGHLY DOUBT there are any traceable records, American Signal Guns used mostly in Marine applications are Mold Injected Plastic using a low pressure, shortened 12ga. about the same as a Roman Candle launching a single pyrotechnic Ball. The Barrel on those is deliberately choked in such a way as to prevent some enterprising idiot from self ejecting himself from the Gene Pool, the 26.5mm and 37mm Launchers are quite a bit more robust and those typically seen are Military Surplus and will stand up to pressures exerted by rounds such as .45LC, .410, .22, et.al. Those "adapters" aren't exactly cheap and those that are aren't worth a shit....Flares aren't cheap either, and IIRC require HAZMAT Shipping....;course if you're a little Thug, that's not likely to deter you.
Oh, back to the Charges: Un_Serialize "Handgun" in the commission of crime(s) could withstand Criminal Weapons Charges, while not in our typical imagination of "ghost gun" they're plastic, not serialized, not registered, and I highly doubt anyone involved has a Handgun Licenses....but I suppose it really doesn't matter, the DA's will plea-bargain it down to disorderly conduct for a guilty plea, fines, and fees, and if they're a Minor or Raise the Age, well Family Court will give them a stern talking to and Probation until they time out at 18.
The SP and Legislature could put out a PSA reminding People that Arson and prevention/restraint of someone committing the Crime IS subject to the use of Deadly Force, so when you decide you're going to light someone up with a fourteen hundred degree ball of burning metal just because they pissed you off, don't be surprised if someone else returns the favor with a smaller one traveling much faster.
Decades ago (maybe still true) People that couldn't have/carry Handguns in NYC would carry a Flare Gun and not much could be done about it because it was a Safety Device internationally approved and unrestricted, sort of like carrying a Fire Extinguisher...never tried it, but from the Movies it looks like you could really knock the fuck outta someone with one, and getting douched by one isn't exactly pleasant....just thinking out loud.

Oh no not the dreaded flare gun.

Well why not just ban teenagers?

Car accidents, underage drinking, loitering and general jackassery would plummet like Hochul’s approval rating.

Except politicians and when they steal, rape, kill, or get us into a war. They never want to ban or hold themselves liable.

It’s entirely ridiculous. I don’t even know how these morons figure this crap out or learn about these one off incidents. Dang news.

When man was truly just an animal, he began to use rocks to kill problem children.

As man developed, from eating meat from his kills, he began to fashion weapons out of sticks for stabbing the above identified subs and game.

Stabbing and clubbing has not been obsoleted, nor has fists or rocks in said fists. We see it in the crowds of HAMAS/College Student, primitives who backslide.

Legislate away...................."subhumans"

So let me get this straight...

Minors are spending $93 on a flare gun with 4 flares:


And $41 on 3 reloads.


Sure they are.
