New York Police are knocking on doors to find "Ghost Guns"

[Blacksmith101]

"Two weeks ago, NYSP “Ghost Gun” Team members began visiting citizens in the New York City area requesting information about parts purchased from eBay. The parts were purchased from multiple sellers across the auction platform.

Most disturbing, the officers had printouts of everything purchased by the individuals from the website, leading to the question of how the State Police came into possesion the item list.

When the officers show up at New York residents’ doors, they show up in force with between nine and twelve officers. Only two to three officers will speak to the person while the others stand far back in the yard looking bored. The police will ask about the parts and ask to see any firearms that the resident owns. The New York Police are knocking on doors requesting to see the individual’s firearms."

No warrant, FU!!!!!

 

[Afrikeber]

The crime rate is through the roof, the city is overrun with homeless migrants, and this is what they focus on.

 

[slsc98]

It is their modus operandi and it depends wholly upon a complicit mainstream media and a willfully ignorant, sofa-camping populace …

Interesting use of NY resources. Dispatching groups of 10 LEO's over eBay items?

How do they get eBay lists? Privacy implications and warrant ques? Sounds Pfishy...

 

[Inigoes]

NY is normalizing gun confiscation.

When/If this behavior goes national, what are you going to do?

That was a rhetorical question, btw...

This is somewhat concerning to me:

The NYPD and NY State Police have begun conducting operations at gun shows in adjoining states in order to combat this issue as part of the Governor’s Ghost Gun Initiative.

So NYPD and NY State Police can just go to whatever state they want and set up operations?

And you can buy crack on a corner and not a peep. The government is way to huge trying to skull drag us into submission. Not sure at what point do we need to act but this is not good.
Meanwhile the streets of NY are in ruins and crime off the chain. F the government and the assault vehicle they rode in on.

 

[Doco Overboard]

I wonder what happens when the state of MD or NY seizes a ghost gun.
Like during a no probable cause traffic stop, no permission for search etc.
What do they do with the gun and how do they charge a person?

I suspect eBay provides the lists to LE upon request.

I didn't click on the video. I refuse to support that clown after the stunt he pulled with the "Magazine guy" who liked to violate protection orders in upstate NY a few years ago. They were likely already looking at the person. They already had a subpoena for all of his or her's eBay transactions or PayPal transactions. It reads like based on the blurb they conducted a "knock and talk" because possession of the items alone isn't a crime and doesn't generate PC for a search warrant. The 2A 3D printing community is wild. I am a member of a few bookface groups. Outlaws don't even sum up some of the stuff I see. It's great.

The real end game? Confiscating the legal purchases along with the “illegal” home made stuff?

"Yes officers, you can see the collection of dildos I purchased off eBay. There might even be one large enough to fill as large of an A-hole as you are".

They were likely already looking at the person.

Possibly but as Colion Noir says- "The gun grabbers do things incrementally." (paraphrasing)
This was a test case. If no one squeals, they'll do it again, then implement it statewide. Then other leftist states will do it. What happened here really is "mass confiscation" adjacent.

I'm done answering my door. I use the camera and if I don't know you, I ignore the doorbell.

Love how they throw that pellet gun in the middle of the picture to make the arsenal look more killy

I just got a Bambu two months ago and decided to join a few of those 2A 3D groups and I've already thought about leaving a couple of them purely to avoid guilt by association lol.

Fruitless if I didn't also use a fake FB account.

Just VPN and set your location for Epstein Island. They will suddenly lose interest in investigating you.

Yup. The heat under the pot just got turned up another notch. Frog soup.
