First arrest made under NY SAFE law

[Delos]

Entrapment?

Actually, he attempted to sell a lying cop a gun, which I believe is considered entrapment.

Actually, I think it would be entrapment if the undercover police sold him the gun to sell to another policeman. And introduced him to the second undercover policeman.

Particularly if they loaned him the money in the first place?
Particularly if he had never dealt in gun sales or gun smuggling before.

Or never sold any illegal items before including counterfeit baseball caps made in china and bearing registered team logo's at a flea market in galt.

(Yup, just guessing - I have talked to several flea market vendors, and the paranoia after an undercover has tried to sell a vendor a truck load of Chinese counterfeit stuff really cheap is amazing to behold. The rumors on the sales booth grapevine spread faster than any virus. The "he didn't show a resale license" and after I turned him down he flashed a badge and said "your learning").
(That could have cost me all the money I made in the last ten years).

Can't finish reading every post in the thread. Sure, the guy is a screw up. And yes, NY officially sucks worse now than Cali.

But oh how quickly we turn on our own.

It's ironic to see the mindless NYS Police put manpower and effort into enforcing unconstitutional laws, and at the same time complain about making do with less men and resources.

Saving this republic may come down to getting the sheriffs and police on board to protect and defend the constitution that many of us have sworn an Oath to. Many need to read and understand the Constitution to the best of our ability (myself included) not just the Bill of Rights to understand that the power comes from the people...not from the federal government. I am an Oathkeeper and joined the Organization. We need the Sheriffs and police on board to protect the rights of the people....and "We the People" need to be the back-up for these officers if the federal government tries to overstep their authority as they are trying to do right now. The power comes from the "people and our Constitution" not from the Federal Government. The federal government can not take our guns away from us and they do not have the power or authority to infringe on Article two of the Bill of Rights.

Sullivan Law

But oh how quickly we turn on our own.

Your post got me thinking. So I went back and reviewed the article, and a few more.
No one has said if these rifles were owed by him or if he is doing excessive buying and selling (I lived in a town once where you could only buy and sell 6 cars a year without a dealers license).

(I would love to know if below is the exact language was as stated below)

Silver Creek man becomes first arrest under new gun laws - City & Region - The Buffalo News
the investigator told Wassell, according to the complaint, that he or she had a felony conviction for a domestic violence incident.


The guy doing the selling is a 32 year old Iraq war vet with no criminal history.

Every rifle has adjustable stocks because spacers are sold to switch as kids get older.

A pistol grip is a zero. Thumb holes are cut in rifle stocks for a better grip and wrist position all the time.

Bayonet lugs is laughable. I have never heard of any robber going in the local market and robbing it with a fixed bayonet. Never heard of anyone being killed in this country with a bayonet attached to a rifle.

According to this article below The Sullivan Law began with questionable politicians.

Others were skeptical of the motives of Sullivan, notorious for his association with the underworld. "Cynics suggested that Big Tim pushed through his law so Tammany could keep their gangster allies under control," wrote Richard F. Welch in his 2009 biography, "King of the Bowery: Big Tim Sullivan, Tammany Hall, and New York City from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era."
