Trio busted for flooding Brooklyn streets with guns

[Madmallard]

Authorities in Brooklyn have busted a gun-running ring that trafficked 35 legally purchased out-of-state firearms — including a machine gun — into the Big Apple.

“These are killing machines,” Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said Wednesday while holding up what he called a “fully automatic machine gun” seized as part of an effort between his office and the NYPD dubbed “Operation Palmetto Plug.”

The firearm, a Cobray M11 9 mm, had been illegally modified into an automatic weapon, his office said.

Cobray M11 9 mm, had been illegally modified

so then I guess they weren't all legal?

as well as hundreds of rounds of ammunition

Oh....no......."hundreds."

Not to minimize the severity of gun trafficking, but the line about the quantity of ammunition is just sensationalistic crap.

Shhhhhh....I hope they don't find out that I'll be transporting and then shooting about a thousand rounds (that's ten hundred for the antis in the media) while training this weekend.

Ten hundred lol. Don’t let DA Gonzalez find out. He only prosecutes white people fyi.

Wow killing "Machimes", not killers using Machines. Just killing Machines. Such propagated bull ship.

 

[repete]

Say it aint so! How could anybody illegally modify a fire arm, after all it's against the law! They must not have known that it was illegal otherwise I'm sure they wouldn't have done it!
Geeze their freakin criminals WTF do yo expect?

 

[Twogunwilly]

You mean to tell me thugs don't obey the laws? I call shenanigans on that one.

 

[Nevar]

Gee the unSafe act working real good.

 

[holdover]

Gun laws stop gun trafficking , like drug laws stop drug trafficking .
