Why everyone should own automatic weaponSFollow

That's it. I'm sure that must be it.

"Hey what you doin?"
"Me? Ain't ****."
"Wanna go **** with dis dude?"
"Yah, maybe they pull a gun and ****"
"Haha yeah den dey be gone to jail..."

Well the "victim" was black, so there's that. He should have waited inside and hoped they were still there when the cops arrived, but firing warning shots into his lawn is hardly worth charging him with a class D felony, IMO.

If it's as it appears, he'll probably get off with a warning, if that. But that doesn't mean the police don't make the arrest when he clearly broke the law by firing his gun.

Actually, he'll probably get slapped with a fine or something for misdemeanor discharge of a firearm, which doesn't sound unreasonable. I think the felony charge is a bit over the top though.

If I was to guess, the guy figured that firing his weapon and setting off the police "shots fired" alert system would get a quicker police response than waiting while his wife sits on hold with 911.

I don't know if I blame him and would assume he'll get a warning and not a felony conviction but the type of gun it was is pretty secondary. Especially since it's most likely that his weapon was a semiautomatic rifle (if it was full auto, I'm sure the story would have drooled over that fact as it did "AK-47" also the guy would have been charged with owning it).

Booby trapping your property in NY is fraught with so many laws that honestly, mounting a GAU on a sentry system is actually more viable, legally speaking.

I guess this might just be in my part of the country but there are special permits that allows private citizens to own automatic weapons. I know a guy who owns a M2HB. I had to pay him $100 to shoot 25 rounds at an old rusted out car. I'm sad to say it wasn't as awesome as originally thought.

What, isn't one enough?

What?

The weapon was semi-auto and completely legal. You don't need any sort of permit to own that weapon in NY. No weapon charges were filed against the man. New York is very strict about what sort of force you can use against others, especially when they are not in your house. Outside doesn't count.

Also, Varus is an idiot.

Varrus' been there before, I'm sure.

Maybe you need to bring back Winky.

You think anyone believes this? I mean, you're the coward who never managed to find himself a job or move out of his Daddy's back yard. You seriously believe anyone thinks you'd do anything other than **** yourself in the presence of scary Mexicans? Honestly, after your girlfriend left that night, she went and found those Mexicans, just to see some adult penises.
