Information leading to an arrest can earn callers up to $500, according to an operator who answered the line when The Daily Caller called. The number is 1-855-GUNSNYS. Earlier this week, authorities discussed “reviving” the tip line by generating publicity for it, according to John Grebert, executive director of the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police. “In our most recent meeting on Monday afternoon we talked about reviving this tip line and informing our members about it by sending out a message and scheduling a conference call to discuss it,” he wrote in a statement. “The Association partners with the State on a regular basis to provide local law enforcement with additional resources to help them in their efforts to reduce gun-related and violent crimes in their jurisdictions.” |

But a spokesperson for the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services defended the program. “This program has been in place for more than a year and is aimed only at getting illegal crime guns off the streets: a goal that every New Yorker can agree with,” wrote Janine Kava, director of public information at NYS DCJS. Authorities did not respond to questions about how much reward money had been paid out through the program. |

Cuomo’s office first publicly announced the tip line, saying it was designed to “encourage citizens to report illegal firearm possession.” Quoting: Indysmindy Illegal firearm = any firearm you own and you live in NY State ! Can you imagine? You wouldn't be able to tell your family or friends (or anyone new) ...I think this may go nation wide one day as well. |

I point to the cameras on all the stoplights to my son. I tell him ... 'you see those cameras? when I was your age there were no cameras on streetlights. But when you get my age it will seem normal to you because it's always been there.' I imagine him telling his son something similar about people owning guns. |

The state of New York does not expect someone to KNOW whether the gun is legal or not. And since all guns are now technically illegal in NY, all gun owners are now the target of $500 seeking pill popping neighbors and fuck faces like yourself. |

Resister User ID: 1461638 United States 03/20/2013 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another page of history repeats itself. Hitler's 1930's Germany has arrived in New Nazi York. Leave while you can people. Additional chapters of that part of history get rough. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

I thought that area was tough minded people but they are very naive and easily manipulated. You ever notice that most public officials in New York always go with this line or something similar speaking for all new Yorkers? "A goal that every New Yorker can agree with." |

CBS-6 news reported the existence of the tip line on Wednesday. It was previously a “well-kept secret” that received little promotion from state officials or fanfare in the media, according to the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.
