Yes every police officer has one.

For a normal civilian I have never seen one with one.

FAIL! is not the matter of stereotype..
perhaps the info that was given...
that is why i asked

common doesn't mean stereotyping because in many countries we can't even own a gun...
whereas i believe there are ways to obtain a gun in US (legally)

Which of the 5 Boroughs do you live in?

That is because guns are legal in USA... in theory, almost anyone can get one (and if you have the cash, the rest can get them easily enough too)...

Compare this to a country in which guns are illegal, and there are far fewer guns... and far fewer gun deaths...


You may say it is a "stereotype", but it is a stereotype born of the prevalence of gun ownership in the USA...

Which is idiotic. I don't give a shit bout the Constitution saying the right to bear arms. All it does is bring more deaths.

Queens.

And guns are illegal to be owned by a regular person. Only cop.

how expensive is a gun + license and training

sorry i am getting offtopic ...

The problem in America is that the current laws for owning an illegal gun are not tuff enough on the criminals! Instead of enforcing the current laws and make those laws harder on criminals they just make new laws that make it tuffer on the average law abiding Joe to go out and get a gun and to get a concilled carry permit and this does nothing to stop criminals from getting a gun if they want cause they are criminals for crying out loud they don't respect the law in the first place!

Not much mostly depends on the gun you wish to buy and there is no mandated training to go thro to get one either not sure what a permit for conciled carry costs but I do know it varies for state to state and there are certain cities that have laws against carrying a conciled weapon, I know for a fact that phillidephia is one of them.

Dude seriously, I live in nyc too, and as much as I hate cops out here, I would have still called the cops. This shit pisses me off man...

My son was at his sitters house and one of the little girls took his DSi. I went to the sitter and the girl admitted to taking the system, and she said that she was going to bring it back. Next day she said that she never took it home (so she told my son), when I went looking for the girls parents, a few of the kids that live in her neighborhood told me, if she took it home and said she doesn't have it anymore, it's gone. Her older brother probably took it and sold it. The kids continue to tell me how her older brothers are in the Bloods gang, and they are always stealing from the kids in the neighborhood, one kids ds, another's sidekick. I said flat out I don't give a fuck who they roll with. I want my shit back!!

I confronted the little girl a few days later, and she was scared shitless, but she stood to her story. I was going to speak to her parents, but since the girl seemed to be more afraid of her brothers than doing the right thing, I let it go. I didn't want anything happening to her cuz of some punks. I did go to the cops and ask them what to do. Obviously nothing will be done, so I'm just gonna fork over the cash for a new dsi (of course hes not taking it to the sitters anymore).

Seriously, call the cops and say that its gang related, dude they will jump on it. No station in nyc wants a gang related case that remains unsolved.

But I am praying for the day I see those assholes!!!

It's not illegal. It's just extremely expensive, thus people do it illegally anyway. Like pirating? harr harr

It depends on where you live. Some places even kids can get a license to have a gun (for hunting), while as somewhere else it'll cost hundreds of dollars and time just to be able to have one.

It's already turning into politics, lol. We all know how that turns out.

Exactly. Those advocating gun control and disarmament are only interested in more control and to reduce the threat of armed retaliation against a government running out of control. The unarmed are far more easily oppressed.

It is illegal to own a gun in New York. Not in the whole USA but in New York it is illegal.

The guy stole $100 dollars from my friend though.

Why the hell do kids carry $100 bucks around with them? Are they hoping someone will offer to sell them a little weed or something?

Well I think its a little late to call the cops. The cops will call us every month and tell us to go to there offices and stuff and submit stuff and tell them stuff all the time, and that is pretty annoying. But I will see what we are going to do about this crap. By the way this happened on 108st Forest Hills.

Thats what my sister does.

He was going to the mall after schools to buy new shoes so he took his money.

Amen brother! That is exactly why the wish to make it harder to get one! I myself own 5 for hunting, I have a 22, a 30-30, a 12 gauge, a 20 gauge, and a 306. Personally for me that's not enough some day I hope to have a couple of hand guns for personal protection. And btw they were all owned by my father and were handed down to me.

I'm not sure how old you are kid but don't put up with this shit this asshole that held you guys up is shit if it happened again this is what you need to do, give him back talk and disract him and make sure your friends aren't pussies and have the surround this asshole and then all of you pound his ass! If he's going to shoot you he would have shot you for the iPod and took it more than likely he is a piece of chicken shit and once you guys show him your not giving him anything he'll problly run.

 

[Giga_Gaia]

So, guns are illegals in New York, get one anyway. The fact it's illegal didn't prevent them to have them.

So if it happens again, the second the guy take his gun out, rease his existence from this world. In other words, just kill him. You will get away with it, it's self-defense.
