more NYC zaniness

I am providing a link to calguns, a poster there has (scanned?)
a letter telling him his firearms are now illegal.
I think it would be neat if gun owners across the country deluged the address provided with snail mail pictures of huge gun collections....no return address of course.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

....wait, they've banned BOLT ACTIONS that take more than 5 rounds? Jesus christ...

Those are all .22s, too.  :facepalm:

So, just to be clear, THIS:



is illegal to own in NYC.

So when do they send out the goon squads to kill people and burn down their houses?

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Is there a ferry from Delaware to Rhode Island?  And can I catch the ferry from Rhode Island to Maine without an overnight stay?

Does anybody know if the Carneige Deli delivers?

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Thinking about it...

Main trouble would be getting a recent copy of the NYT to lay in front of the collection as a date/time stamp and being able to re-mail it from an NYC ZIP code so it's less than obvious trolling from other states etc.

That shouldn't be too hard: NYT is sold all over the country. And I'm sure we can find SOMEONE in NYC (or nearby) who could act as a forwarding point

Market opportunity? How much does secure warehouse space cost in the nearby less-oppressed areas?

I am now hearing reports that this letter is fake.  Has anyone seen any more of these?
