[quote=Anonymous]There is some misinformation in this thread.

1. he was NOT "strolling down the street" with a gun. He parked his BMW right outside the building and crossed the PLAZA into the building. In the picture of him you'll see there are no people near him. The Plaza is slightly elevated and the way it is constructed, people walking down Park Avenue at roughly a 90 degree angle  about 2 feet lower than Plaza level were unlikely to notice. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/28/us/video/park-avenue-new-york-city-shooting-mccabe-digvid  (I tried to embed a photo but it didn't work.) The way the bank juts out cuts off the view from most of Park Avenue. (There's a bank at plaza level marked by the red signs in the video.It blocks the view of the plaza from people on Park Ave walking south.)

2. CNN reported that the gunman was "possibly white" because that it what THE POLICE'S initial report said. They also said he was "possibly Middle Eastern." (That's why a guy outside wearing a shirt with a pro Palestinian message found himself body slammed by several police officers onto the pavement.) CNN only mimicked what the police said.

3. The cop who died was off duty filling a paid detail. He WAS security. Poor guy worked in the Bronx; this gig must have seemed like easy money to him. THe  gunman killed him and shot another guard. No word yet as to whether the guard was killed. He probably was.

4. I have no idea what the law re carrying an assault weapon in NYC is, but be aware that NYC has MUCH tougher gun laws than NY State does, so the statute quoted in this thread is irrelevant. Unfortunately, this Supreme Court held 6 to 3 that our gun law was unconstitutional and it was watered  down. It is still tougher than the rest of the state.

5. In NYC, the gunman could NOT have obtained a gun permit. Blame Nevada, not NY, for the fact that a person with a history of mental health issues had no trouble getting a concealed carry permit. It's not relevant anyway since the gun wasn't concealed. It is EXTREMELY unlikely the gun was purchased in NYC. [/quote]
