Nervous residents of New York City (at least those who haven’t already fled the area) have been signing up in increasing numbers for firearms permits, many for the first time in their lives. Given the conditions on the ground there, that’s understandable. But making the decision to take advantage of your Second Amendment rights and actually laying your hands on a firearm legally are two very different things in the Big Apple these days. The New York Post is reporting that there’s a significant backlog in permit applications this season, and among those that do manage to get processed, nearly nine in ten are denied. The NYPD’s License Division hasn’t had too much to say about it, but local gun dealers suspect that this isn’t entirely accidental, while a variety of factors have led to the surge in demand.

This is new?
Statistical proof 10% of the firearm applicants in NYC are rich liberals who donate to the Democrats.
ReplyDeleteOnly 90% of New York City citizens have a felony on their record?
ReplyDeleteThat few?
This is a feature, not a bug.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure the backlog in gun permit applications isn't affecting Paco or Ice Dawg in the least.
ReplyDeleteNope! Paco be packin'.
DeleteWhy don't those denied drive up-state or out of state and buy one or fourteen guns? I won't mention what State I live in (it's between Mexico and Oklahoma) but if we want a new gun, there are so many options one needs to make a list and then compare prices. But don't come here, we already have too many people here from everywhere. We don't need any more.
