STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The NYPD posted a photo on social media of a rifle and bullets that were seized during a domestic incident in New Springville.
Domestic Violence and Field Intelligence officers found the gun and ammunition during a home visit, according to the 121st Precinct Twitter feed.
The officers were conducting a home visit in the vicinity of Windham Loop and Marsh Avenue on Monday when they were made aware of a gun that was not registered, according to a spokeswoman for the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.
No arrests were made and the weapon was confiscated, the police spokeswoman said.
A verbal dispute between a husband and wife prompted the visit from the Domestic Violence officers, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
The husband had failed to re-register the hunting rifle, the source said.
It’s hard to tell what the rifle is, but it’s not a rimfire gun. It’s a carbine of some sort, but some reader can help with this I’m sure.
This is what we’re reduced to – the NYPD posting pictures to Twitter with hashtag #OneLessGun. Proudly, no less.
Despicable. Nothing good ever comes from calling the police to your home. Why did they do that over an argument? Why?

It is not clear to me how this firearm was confiscated even within the tenants of NYS legal code. I am not a lawyer but I can read. What is most sad is even IF the “authorities” cannot justify their actions by their own statutes, the firearm is long gone. The comments on the article are even more disturbing. We are all in the deep end of the cesspool.
