I was mistaken about the felonious presidential candidate and guns

Seems like I had previously heard this and forgotten about it.

Apparently he had a concealed weapons permit in New York, not sure if it was city or state, and owned an HK 45 and a Smith & Wesson 38. So those will have to be surrendered or otherwise disposed of or accounted for if they haven't been disposed of already.

Now we know that he can't get away with shooting someone dead on 5th Avenue. At least for now.

It's really getting on my nerves how he is attacking the judicial system. Except the Supreme Court where his friends are, argh.

City permit. Regardless, it will be a hoot to have him made to surround them.

For a second, I thought that was a c1950's ray gun in your hand; didn't realize it was a raptor.

ROFL!

I think it is a good idea for him to have to surrender his weapons, given how much he seems to be eager to use them or to get others to use theirs.

Well . . . he CAN still shoot someone, it's just that he'll have extra charges now wrt firearms.

I don't know why it came to mind, but I remember an old Clint Eastwood movie, Gauntlet (IIRC) that was filmed in Phoenix at Symphony Hall, which stood in for Police HQ and City Hall.  They crashed a bus up the steps and did a lot of damage to said steps.  ANYWAY, a police friend of mine was working security on the set.  Lots of extras in police uniforms, and lots of actual police working security on the set.  Eastwood was a cop who got in trouble with his buddies, has to drive a bus up the steps and gets shot by a cop.  The director wasn't happy with the way the actor shot Clint, so he pulls a gun out of the holster of one of the extras and says 'No, shoot him like this!'  Except the extra wasn't an extra, it was a real cop with a loaded weapon.  The shout of 'GUN!' went up and the real cops dog-piled the director.  No one got hurt except the director's dignity.
