Reagan Stevens, a deputy director in the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, and two young men were arrested for illegal weapons possession while sitting in a double-parked car near the scene of a Saturday night shooting in Queens, cops said.

A loaded, 9mm semi-automatic pistol with its serial number defaced was hidden in the car’s glovebox, and there was a spent shell casing on the floor near Stevens’ feet in the rear of the 2002 dark red Infiniti SUV, law enforcement sources said.

The trio’s arrest followed a burst of five gunshots that activated an NYPD “ShotSpotter” device in Jamaica at 9:42 p.m. Saturday, sources said.

Wasn't there a story like this just a couple of weeks ago? Another Democrat politician or aide allegedly involved in "gun violence"?

The sealed prior arrests are interesting. Also I see she was released on her own recognizance. Good luck for anyone else with a "ghost gun" getting that treatment.

Al Sharpton's half-brother is charged with capital murder in Alabama after shooting a woman in a dispute.

It was a Democrat in California who had been a vocal anti-gunner who was recently convicted for gun trafficking.

Not a "ghost gun" per se, but the serial number "removed".  IIRC, isn't that a big, federal, ATF-and-FBI-want-to-talk-to-you NO-NO that will get you sent to FPMITA prison ??  And she walked out on her own recognizance ??  WTF, over ??

Not her gun.  (allegedly)

Stevens, 42, and the two men — who cops say also had knives on them — were awaiting arraignment Sunday night in Queens Criminal Court, where her mom, Deborah Stevens Modica, has been a judge since her appointment in 1997.

Her stepdad, Salvatore Modica, is an acting Queens Supreme Court justice. They both declined to comment.

I would say her family may have a few connections. 

Most of us would still be in jail if caught on video firing shots from a car.

I have a fantasy wherein the "little people" get fed up with our "betters" having a different standard of justice than those they rule.
It plays out a little like the French Revolution but with a little less bloodshed.

I'm thinking much more gruesome and much more bloodshed would stick in their memories a bit longer though.  You know just in case in a few decades they want to forget what happened last time the little people were fed up.

Right, then. Dehydrate them before beheading them.
