Hoo boy that's a small armies worth ??

During a raid of Sciortino’s Prince’s Bay home, officers found 19 illegal firearms – including a machine gun and an assault weapon, according to prosecutors.

Funny, when it's some common Joe who has naughty stuff, they lay EVERYTHING out, even the air guns, and legal magazines for pictures with a big smiling squad behind them....
When it's a NYPD cop who ignored the law, they have a nice little display with a couple of ghost guns, and a couple of magazine, with no pictures of the evil machine gun, or assault weapon.....

Apparently he's not above the law

“Small army’s worth”!!!! That’s some fucked up headline! Sad thing is that if SCOTUS (under Roberts) ever did the right thing, everything he had would be perfectly legal everywhere. But Roberts is dragging everything out.

Simply put, the Detective was just stupid for keeping some guns in New York State. Everything else in the statement is complete un-Constitutional bullshit and fuck the author of the article for not pointing that out in the first paragraph.

I HIGHLY doubt this is the actual haul of the "small army" cache. Who would mount them so neatly to a board? This is something they probably tote around for PR purposes. If you're going to bullshit the public, at least put in the effort.

I have an issue with this, not the guns....

Sciortino also allegedly used “his position as an NYPD detective to access personnel records for unauthorized, unofficial, and nefarious purposes,” the DA charged.

Just another thought looking at the picture: for these four P80’s, did they tamper with them by removing the magazine releases so that they could nicely zip tie them on the board for display?

Makes me wonder what else they might have modified. Just something for his attorney to consider.

Edit: Actually looking closer at that picture,- those ARE NOT completed frames. They are bare undrilled P80 frames! Exactly what is now before SCOTUS in the Vanderstok case where a decision is due by the end of this term.

I'm pretty sure what @GOPerfect quoted was the real issue at hand for the Detective being arrested. He just happened to have some firearms which he didn't follow procedures on notification so they used this as a PR opportunity to further vilify gun ownership and the "ghost guns" epidemic.

If anyone really sees this as a gun issue rather than a corruption issue, I have a bridge to sell you.

Gotta call BS on this one. Frames are NOT finished. (good catch @VietnamEraVet )
BUT, i do believe, if they find ANY tooling marks on the frames, they are considered finished, in their unconstitutional eyes.

Vanderstok case won`t help the guy any. This is the NY QUEENS COUNTRY, she overrides the SCOTUS. Just ask her!

The detective should be able to sue for slander since they used a prop, no? Misrepresentation of his crimes.

Frame and receiver case WAS heard....Roberts is not hanging onto the case.....June decision ................this is not China.

If the receiver pocket has any machining done, it is a weapon --ATF ruling,

It it exists at all, it is illegal here..................until SCOTUS rules.

I would say that the Post was creative with the image not LE. They did state under the picture it was sourced from Getty
