A
New York father has had his firearms all but confiscated after the
Suffolk County Pistol License Bureau suspended his pistol license
indefinitely over a perceived threat made by his 10-year-old son and two
of his classmates at school.
John
Mayer, of Commack, N.Y., told TheBlaze that the incident occurred on
March 1. It was like any other day, the father explained. He put his son
on the bus and sent him off to school.
Later
that day, Mayer got a call from school officials at Pines Elementary
School informing him that his 10-year-old son and two other students
were talking about going to a boy’s house with a water gun, “paint gun”
and a BB gun. There had reportedly been a school yard pushing incident
the day before involving the boys, excluding Mayer’s son, and they were
seemingly talking about getting even in some way.
Mayer
told TheBlaze that a teacher overheard the students talking and
informed the principal, who then immediately called police and filed a
report. He said the principal told police something to the effect of,
there’s a “kid with a gun, ready to go.” Mayer maintains that no serious
death threats were made by the students. The Hauppauge Public School
District has not returned several messages left by TheBlaze, therefore,
it is not clear what they are claiming was said.
School
officials then “interrogated” the boys, Mayer explained. It was later
determined that the 10-year-old boys did not have access to a BB gun,
paintball gun or any actual firearms.
The
school’s principal later informed the father that his son would be
suspended for two days for the incident. But the ordeal was far from
over.
Mayer
said police officers were then deployed to his home where he was
advised by officers that they might have to confiscate his firearms,
which he says were all properly stored and secured. “I just couldn’t
believe what was happening,” he told TheBlaze.
The
following Monday, Mayer got a call from the Suffolk County Pistol
Licensing Bureau. He was reportedly told that his license would be
suspended and police would arrive at his house the next morning to
retrieve his handguns. Acting quickly on the advice of his attorney,
Mayer transferred all 15 of his handguns to his friend to prevent them
from being confiscated. He also transferred his long arms to a local gun
store out of fear that police would attempt to confiscate them as well.

Again....the Einsatztruppen of NY government harass a law-abiding citizen. Cops ARE not your friend. The only thing that will stop this attack on freedom is armed resistance and dead enforcers.
