Welcome to The Weimar Republic of New York
BUFFALO, NY – Buffalo Police say they're determined to get more guns off the streets and now they're checking to see whether pistol permit holders have passed away and what happened to their gun or guns.
"We recently started a program where we're cross referencing all the pistol permit holders with the death records, and we're sending people out to collect the guns whenever possible so that they don't end up in the wrong hands," said Police Commissioner Daniel Derrenda."
Some police agencies give families of the deceased permit holder 15 days to sell or transfer a weapon or weapons held with the permit to another permit holder or a dealer.
It's difficult, if not impossible, to reconcile this kind of administrative behavior with the United States Constitution, or to figure what is going through these people's minds.
What gives the police the right to label and seize (even with token compensation) lawfully owned personal property as contraband, just because that property has become part of an estate?
There are just too many chilling similarities to what is going on in New York and the history as written in Stephen Halbrook's book Gun Control in the Third Reich Disarming the Jews and “Enemies of the State”
