Just to add some additional fuel to the gun controversy.

This is little more than noise... a goal oriented attacker will find a
means to carry out their deed whether the means are legal or not.



Are you saying that someone who wants to commit a crime will do so even
if it's illegal?

An amazing idea isn't it!

First local failure of NY's new SAFE Act... SURPRISE!

TROY, N.Y. €” After receiving reports of shots fired around 8:30 Tuesday
night, Troy Police arrested Raysheem Washington more two hours later when
they found a fully loaded .9 mm handgun with a high capacity magazine in his
possession.

Police remained vigilant following the unsolved shots fired call until
patrols narrowed their efforts on a group of three male subjects at
approximately 10:45 p.m. The shots fired call occurred at Jefferson and
Third streets and the suspects had been seen walking in the area just south
of that location when patrols blanketed the premises.

Police said that within minutes of their arrival, a group matching the
description of the suspects implicated in the investigation was reported to
have been walking on Second Street in the area of Madison Street. Shortly
after, police said two of the suspects were safely detained, but the third
suspect ran from the scene.

Officer Charles Rockwell pursued the suspect, who police now identify as
25-year-old Raysheem Washington of Troy. A struggle ensued between the two,
until backup arrived to assist in the arrest. As officers attempted to cuff
Washington, he reached for his right side, where officers discovered and
secured a fully loaded .9 mm handgun with 13 rounds of ammunition.

Officer Rockwell sustained a broken hand from the altercation. He was
treated and released from Samaritan Hospital Tuesday night.

Washington was charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd degree,
Criminal Possession of a Weapon 3rd (large capacity ammunition feeding
device), Obstruction of Governmental Administration 2nd, Resisting Arrest,
and Possession of Marijuana. He will be arraigned Wednesday morning in Troy
Police Court.

"Clearly the alleged suspect was not deterred by the Governor's new
prohibition on keeping more than seven rounds in magazine," said NYSRPA
President Tom King. "He also was unfazed by the 100+ year old Sullivan Act
and it's prohibition on unlicensed possession of a handgun. This is another
clear example of how New York's gun laws, old and new, do not make the state
any safer."
